Lewis Robert Chudd (1911–1998) of Imperial agreed for Weldon to again record at Norman Petty's studio backed up by The Teen Kings, who, in December 1956, had split from Orbison. Four sides were laid down including So Long, Good Luck, Goodbye (which was composed on the drive to the session). This side was selected for release along with a re-recording of Trying To Get To You. When the record was issued, there was a snafu. Imperial company used Orbison's version but credited Rogers. There then arose a series of disagreements between Rogers and Chudd that led to a cessation of Imperial releases of Rogers. Rogers asked for, and got, a release from his contract.[7]Re-releases{{refbegin|2}}{{ordered list|list-style-type=lower-arabic | Weldon Rogers, Tryin' To Get To You, Bear Family Records, (January 26, 1998) (CD) {{OCLC|236174823}} Track Song 1) So Long, Good Luck, Goodbye 2) Trying To Get To You 3) Sale of Broken Hearts 4) My Only Love 5) Please Return My Broken Heart 6) I'm Building a ?? on the Moon 7) Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (and Loud, Loud Music) 8) For Always, Yes Forever 9) Everybody Wants You 10) I Still Want You 11) I'm Gonna Be Around 12) If I Had One Day to Live 13) Lying Lips and a Cheatin' Heart 14) You Made Me Love You 15) Talk Of The Town 16) That Was in the Deal 17) Bright Lights 18) This Song Is Just For You 19) Back Door of Heaven 20) Cimarron 21) As Long As You Are Mine 22) Living With a Heartache 23) Our Rendezvous 24) I'm Gonna Love Again 25) I Lost the Moon 26) I Haven't Seen Myself in Years 27) Mr. Mountain Lion 28) I've Got the Yearning 29) Would You Still Want Me }}{{refend}}Re-releases via MP3 downloads{{refbegin|2}}{{ordered list|list-style-type=lower-arabic | Tryin' To Get To You From the Album, Doo Wop Finders Keepers Vol 3 Label: Ling Music Group (May 27, 2011) | I'm Building A ???
