I have a copy of that record, which I think I bought new (as a cutout)
for about fifty cents in 1965. The 1964 incarnation of the Disc label
was intended to be less expensive and more widely distributed than the
traditional black-jacket Folkways records. Remember that this would
have been at the height of the Folk Scare, when some of Folkways' more
accessible artists could sell records in commercial quantities. From
what I can tell from Peter Goldsmith's book about Moe Asch and
Folkways, the Disc label stopped producing new titles after the deal
with MGM that led to the Verve-Folkways label.
I don't know why "Sing with Seeger" isn't in the discographies. It's
not that rare -- shows up for sale on eBay several times a year. But
Dunaway missed it in his book about Pete, and I suspect that everybody
since has used his list as the definitive source.
