My impression is that all or most Sonora (USA) issues in the 1000 series were first issued in albums.
The album+side nr is shown on the labels, preceded by prefix MS.
I have label images of 1112-A/-B (MS-476-7/8):
JOE BIVIONA, his ACCORDION and RHYTHM SEXTETTE: 
The Jazz Me Blues (S.R.1674-2) / Nursery Rhymes (prob. S.R.1079-2).
Evidently MS 476 was a 4 record album.
Next available image is 1117 (MS-478) by Kenneth Spencer, so possibly
1113-16 are album 477.
Sonora 1091 by Lani McIntyre a/h Aloha Islanders is known with album nr MS-471 and 
without the album nr.

However Kurt Nauck's latest auction has the following:

5632. Sonora 1110 Joe Biviano, acc & Rhythm Sextet: Leone Jump//Swing 
Low, Sweet Chariot, which I assume are the same versions as on the 
Regent LP. Were any of the other Regent sides originally issued on Sonora?
