[78-L] 78s and 45s of Texarkana Baby by Eddy Arnold

[agp]

That's really an interesting find, but does raise a question with 
regard to the popular notion of Texarkana Baby being the first 45. As 
a catalog number it is first, but why would RCA not put xx-xxx1 from 
each serie sin the pack instead of what they used. Only reason I can 
think is that 48-0001 (Texarkana Baby) was dubbed from the 78 and 
48-0027 (Spade Cooley) wasn't even the first not dubbed from 78 as a 
reissue -- that was 48-0007 from the Sons of the Pioneers

Odd that
