Despite the copy on the front of the album cover, this was a new low-cost three-record package that sold for $1.75. There were three other albums issued in this price range. This is NOT the same thing as the "New Orleans Memories" album that was originally issued at a retail price of $5.50. In the January 1942 Catalogue, the price was lowered to $4.50. From General, the Morton records went over to Commodore, which issued them in their regular series.
