Eddie Bond discography

 The following discography intends to list all of Memphis singer, radio and TV personality, producer and promoter Eddie Bond's original released 45rpm recordings. Numerous alternate takes, demos and other originally unreleased songs as well as albums could be the subject of a second part. Though, this will be a much larger project which would take months to work on and I am not sure at the moment, if I start it. Additions and corrections are highly appreciated.

SPA 25-1001:

According to a label shot on RCS, the first title is "Only One Minute More".

What an amazing feat! And, no doubt, an incredible amount of work on your part to pull all that together.
