Pressed By Specialty Records Corporation
This pressing was plated at Allied Record Company, but pressed by Specialty Records Corporation, as indicated by the Allied ɑ logo stamped and AL-SP etched in the runouts, and the E A S T embossed around the center hole (usually the T is the most visible, sometimes the only really visible letter). Remainder of runouts etched.

True Stories is a similar version that was pressed by Allied Record Company. That version does not have the AL-SP etching in the runouts, and will often have the letter A embossed in the center of the inner pressing ring on one or both sides.
