Anyone know which came first, the bareback records or apo release? I amagine they are pretty close together. Thanks!

The song was written in support of the then presidential candidate Jimmy Carter. He was elected to the White House in 1976.

The label of the Bareback release gives a year of 1977, when Carter was already in office, so I would be inclined to believe that the APO release came first.

Also, I'm presuming that the name APO is contrived from the initials and letters of one of the songwriters, Art Polhemus (although I'm aware that as an acronym APO stands for Army Post Office!).
