Compression testing Questions

I did a compression test on the 76 B I'm working on... (the comp gauge is an 
old, cheap one, so accuracy is probably +or- ?)...I got 150lbs from three 
cylinders, and less than 138 in the number two; but this low cylinder 
immediately leaked down to nothing.
(This car has about 75,000 miles on it, has been sitting a long time.)
So, do I need a new head gasket?
 Or is this much worse?

Thanks,
Ray
