The first album by the Almanac Singers (Seeger etc) was released in May 1941 as Almanac Records Album 102.
Due to its political aims, the 3 records were not released on Keynote, but on this special label, and were only available for a short time.
Keynote Album 101 (6 Songs For Democracy: Discos De Las Brigadas Internacionales) had been issued in 1940(?).
Can it be confirmed that the Almanac number (102) was actually the next number in the Keynote 100 series ?
There is however a real Keynote Album K-102, Early American Ballads by John & Lucy Allison.
Remarkable is the K prefix, which does not occur on the cover of early Keynote albums.
When was K-102 issued and was this cat.nr used to fill the gap in the numerical album list?
