This is the first time we've found the same SCP re issued as a different catalog number. Better mastering albeit the same cuts

SCP 636 and SCP 774 are one & the same with different mastering, matrix numbers and stampers.

E. C. Ball = Esitl Cortez (E.C.) Ball.

A 634 King Pressing.

B&G RECORDS 772

JAMES GALLAGHER
Mar 59  (Rcs = Jul 59)
772-45-222-A - Are You The One   (Starday Music)
772-45-222-B - Ford And Shaker   (Starday Music)
B and G 772
940 Deleware Ave, Lexington, KY

I thought about posting this before I classed it as an unknown record release. Fits by year (1959) but I'm not sure about the King Custom Pressing information.

772 appears where the account numb er usually rests on the label and the label itself is listed as # 222. Both sides published by Starday Music - another point on its inclusion.

I'm not 100% sure on this one. But with three emails stating it is and none suggesting that it isn't, I'll leave it for now. Britestar 772 is from 1962 so that doesn't count.
