NOTES
As you can see from the track list, Capitol T-428 was a combination of two albums from the past: the LP version of ‘Sunday Evening Songs’ (1950), and the EP 'Memory Songs' from 1953.
This comparison (see image below) shows that the sleeve of the LP ‘Memory Songs’ (depicted on the right hand side)
had almost exactly the same design as the EP with the same title.
The oldest record store ad I found in which this album was mentioned (‘New Capitol Long Play Records’), appeared in the Great Falls Tribune (Great Falls, Montana), on April 23, 1955. This means that Capitol T-428 was probably issued in March or April.
