The Publix record, 2002-P,  both sides are credited to the 
Paramounteers, but A Year From Today has a matrix of 148980, which is 
the Georgians. The flip, 149495 I'm Following You, is Sam Lanin. This 
same coupling is on Supertone 2002-P. A Year From Today is also Harmony 
1010, I'm Following You is on Harmony 1065.
