 "All Around The World", Little Willie John's official debut, was released in July 1955 on King 4818. There was, however, a markedly earlier disc of Willie John which came out in late November 1953 on the short-lived Prize label in Detroit, accompanied by two relevant reports in the Billboard magazine:

PRIZE TO ISSUE 1ST RELEASE
First release on Prize Records, new label recently started by Dave Usher, Chicago, features kid-singer Willie John singing "Mommy What Happened to Our Christmas Tree" and "Jingle Bells." John is 14 and has appeared in Detroit theaters. ...

JOCKEY FORMS DISK COMPANY
Bob Maxwell, WWJ-TV, Detroit disk jockey formed his own record company, the Prize Record Company. Dave Usher is managing the artist and repertory for the new company which already has acquired 14-year-old composer Willie John and a vocal group, Three Lads and a Lass.


Both sides of the record, with fantastic vocals of young Little Willie John (rather 15 years old when this was recorded) and a vivid backing by the Three Lads And A Lass, are on Youtube:
