Today, I found another 78 that I've never seen before, also titled "Back in Hackensack, New Jersey", but this one is by the Casino Dance Orchestra on the Perfect (!) label.
Besides the label name and the toffee-colored vinyl, what caught my eye were the names of the songs on the flip sides:
Benson - "Doodle-Doo-Doo"
Casino - "Vee Vodelum Voo"
Actually, the Casino flip side is by Nathan Glantz And His Orchestra, but those titles sound like they were running out of song ideas. What's next - "Ay-Eee-Eye-Oh-Yoo"?
Seller says the record comes with a Perfect sleeve. I'd expect nothing less.

It's a horrible snoozefest.
Oh yeah............the label was located at 315 State St, where
King's Kids Child Care is.
I can find no reference online to either this singing group or the record company, but I did find one that mentioned both songs and the apparent songwriters (last image).
