ONLY FOR EXPERTS!!! in which year and on which album first appeared the song "Cocaine Blues" by Roy Hogsed?

The song 'Cocaine Blues' by Roy Hogsed and the Rainbow Riders Trio was recorded on May 25th, 1947 at Universal Recorders in Hollywood, California for Coast Records. This was unreleased until mid 1948, appearing on a 45rpm album of the same name; on Columbia Records (purple label) disc number F40274. It reached #15 on the charts in 1948. The song was first a western-swing tune written by T.J. 'Red' Arnall (credited on the album). Cocaine Blues was a re-working of a traditional song originally titled 'Little Sadie'. It was released in a dedicated LP format in 1999/2001 on the Bear Family Label (Europe). The album was titled 'Cocaine Blues'.
