Two sides were released in October 1950. However, many sources say her first release for Premium was "My Whole Life Through" backed with "Your Key Won't Fit My Door," but the latter song was by Terry Timmons on Premium, not Sarah. See Recorded in 1950 for Premium Records in Chicago, IL - #857

See Premium Records by Robert Pruter and Robert L. Campbell: "They were under contract to Premium, but Terry Timmons was not accompanied by Memphis Slim and the House Rockers. Instead she recorded with the same bebop orchestra that backed Rhythm Willie: two trumpets, probably two alto saxes, tenor and baritone saxes, piano, bass, and drums. "Your Key Won't Fit in My Door" was a sassy blues with a familiar theme; it features a prominent trumpet solo."
