There were 2 Almanac Singers albums from Keynote - Songs for John Doe, and Dear Mr. President K-111 which was
issued after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union causing the party line to change from Peace to support the War.
BILLBOARD JUNE 27, 1942; JULY 4 1942

[Hitler invaded Russia JUNE 1941, Songs for John Doe withdrawn and masters(stampers?) destroyed.....]

Best wishes, Thomas.

This begins to make sense if Songs For John Doe was intended as K-102 before
Keynote put some distance between themselves and it, but 6 Songs was originally
Music Room 101 and the Topic-sourced set was Music Room 102..maybe MR 102
disappeared quickly and the two numbers became Keynote album numbers.
