  • Well, this might be the second 45 released, there was a demonstration record that was probably manufactured earlier. Thank you for sharing! I wanted to know what was the first non-demonstration 45 record! I have a few early Al Goodman 45s on blue vinyl made between 1949-1950.

  • @APyleOfVinyl I don't know what the 1st demo may have been but I believe there were 7 demos sent to DJs only. I believe this would have had to have been the 1st release to the public simply because of the record number 0001. On your Al Goodman 45s check the numbers, you may want to start by pasting this in google:

  • This is a great Eddy Arnold 45, and the flip-side, "Bouquet Of Roses" is equally good, thanks for posting!!...Friends, Lloyd.

  • Then the first rock and roll albums were all black? Pretty telling!!

  • Was there a tune on the flip side?

  • LOVE IT! My mom was from Arkansas, and when we lived in Texas, my dad sang this to her constantly. We all thought it was corny. And I'd give my right arm to hear him sing it again while she laughed.

  • I saw Eddy Arnold perform this at the Two States Fair and Rodeo in Texarkana as a young child in my Hopalong Cassidy outfit. That was probably 1952. That's the only song I remember that he did. I guess it stuck in my mind because it was about the town where I was living. I have been a fan ever since.

  • Love Texarkana

  • I have the 78 Rpm version of this.

  • I was reared in Texarkana! And, who cares if it's a demo or not? It's the first . . . come one man!!!
