First Recordings

Perry's original recording of "Goodbye Sue" was his first recording with the RCA Victor
Records label in 1943. The song was recorded a-cappella, having vocal background only,
due to the
American Federation of Musicians ( AFM ) recording ban which lasted until late in 1943.
Throughout this period he recorded nine songs, eight of which were released, prior to the
lifting of the ban. The song "
Goodbye Sue
" was recorded again with orchestral background
only for release exclusively through the government V-Disc program.
