History
Original EP here: https://microgroove.jp/mercury/EP-1-6012.shtml
recorded 1951 - but released when?
(Sorry -- this was obviously early-on in my submitting career ... which doesn't mean I've been able to do much better now.)
The recording session was reportedly in December, 1951:

An ebay seller offered a Mercury 45rpm (8265-X45) with a release date reported as 1951 (there is a label scan):
