Sauk City, WI  (James E.Kirchstein)

Another two sided monster of a 45! Vocal A side with a inst flip. Vocals are a little shaky, but they sound double tracked so perhaps they are not quite in time with each other. 

There is also a black label version of the record - which may have been the first pressing.

CASINO 1007-1008
Topeka, KS

(All copies on Casino I have seen has “false” Rca Matrix Numbers on label.) Two killer rockin' sides - especially the B side. Rockin' Country Style suggests the label is from california, but possibly that is because it is similar to an LA label with the same name and same colour scheme, albiet with a different font.

CATALINA 115

Catalina or Phoenix, AZ

Okay - lost of confusing stories here. The label is possibly from either Flagstaff, Phoenix or Catalina, AZ. In either Phoenix or Flagstaff there was a club called the Catalina, where the band played. No proof of any of these things - just looking at my badly scrawled notes I wrote back in the early 1990's.

Top side is a monster!!!!!
