Since the Columbia-manufactured Supertone had an -S suffix, it cannot be 
1076-P.  As Han said, Rust used SR to mean (Columbia) Special Record.  
Notice the capitol R.  That means it is a new word.  Supertone is Spt.  
Read the Index of Abbreviations. Han is correct.  It was a reading 
error.  Those two abbreviations are consecutive in that list.

No flip is listed because the client labels often had different 
performers on the flip sides.  You have to go to their listings.
