The Three Record Albums, 
CC-247 (78rpm) and CCF-247 (45rpm)

The 78 rpm and 45rpm versions of this album, both three record albums (no box sets!), counted two tracks less than the LP version. These two tracks were left out:  ‘Stars Of The Summer Night’, and ‘Last Night’.

Tracks on the 78 rpm album:
Disc 1, Capitol 15657: ‘Now The Day Is Over’, and ‘Long, Long Ago’
Disc 2, Capitol 15658: ‘Juanita’, and ‘Love’s Old Sweet Song’
Disc 3, Capitol 15659: ‘Sweet And Low’, and ‘In The Gloaming’ 

The 45 rpm version, Capitol CCF-247, had exactly the same track list. Its label numbers were F15657, F15658, and F15659

 

NOTE

The album ‘Sunday Evening Songs’ was reviewed in the November 18, 1950 issue of Billboard magazine, that’s why I’m almost certain it must have been issued in November 1950. Billboard only mentions the LP version, but it seems plausible that the 78 rpm and 45 rpm versions of this album were issued in November 1950, too.
