[78-L] Song Swappers

[David Lennick]

It says on my (taped) copy "And Other Union Songs with Pete Seeger And Chorus". 
I have the booklet photocopied and no names are named.

I downloaded the booklet for 6911 (took forever) and managed to get 4 of the 
pages to print (also took forever)..no personnel named anywhere, no proof that 
Mary Travers is on this disc. What a swell quality repro of the booklet, by the 
way..complete with University of Alberta stamp on one page.
