The blue issue is the earlier of the two, recorded at Appalachia Sound (hence the Lantern Light BMI) and pressed at Musicol. The immediate second issue on the green label was pressed at Musicol, but was "distributed" by the IRDA scheme in Nashville (Hit Kit was one of their many publishing fronts). The follow-up 45 on Black Forest by Earth's Delight is a complete IRDA job.

Boba is correct in stating that the Summits were a far South Side Chicago group. The music on the 45 in question was supplied by the Smart Brothers from Wichita, Kansas, and was produced by the ever-roving George Redman (aka Jorge Rojohombre). Besides the two Summits singles on United International, there also exists a Cornelius Neil & the Smart Brothers 45 entitled "I Cried A Long Time/ Oh-Oh (It's All Over For Me)." The United International label was related to United Continental (which issued two 45s by The Skytons), another of Mr. Redman's concerns.
