This appears to have been pressed in February of 1957 based on the delta numbers:
Δ 14394 for "100 Years"
Δ 14395 for "Come Back Home"
However, it wasn't reviewed until June. In May, there was an announcement that Don Barksdale had "formed" the Rhythm label and that he had "two decks" in the stores, this being one of them. Trouble is, the label had already existed for a decade. I think he purchased the label name from Bob Geddins, and that it happened in late 1956 when the Pee Wee's All Stars record came out. The label had been dormant since 1954 before that.

make1968 has it correct. "Rhythm Recordings" eventually became "Rhythm Records".
