I think these two titles are in fact the same recording. Has anyone got both to compare?

 

 

I've got the Correc-Tone and had the Sonbert.

I'm 99.99 % sure same track.

I have both the SonBert and Correc-Tone issues, and I've always thought they were exactly the same takes, mixes, and cuts (e.g. version).  Just a slightly-different title shown on the records.

Many thanks! I think the Correc-tone release came first.

Cheers, Robb - I'm now editing an interview with Ronald Davis, who wrote the song. It should be on YouTube soon.

I'm almost sure it did, because " Correc-Tone/SonBert's record issue numbers were (after #503 (1962)) were taken from their RCA recording numbers, which were based on a chronological numbering system.  5800 series (1965), was quite a bit later than the 3100 series (1963-64).  And "Just Like You Did Me" sounds intrumentally, and in recording technology, like 1965, while "So Much In Love"/"I'm In Love" sounds a lot more like early 1964.
