Back in the days when an "album" consisted of several 78-rpm records sold as a set, there was a set of 4 called "The Return of the Wayfaring Stranger" by Burl Ives (Columbia C-186), issued in 1949. The individual records were were:
Columbia 38482 LITTLE MOHEE b/w ON SPRINGFIELD MOUNTAIN Columbia
Columbia 38483 LORD RANDALL b/w TROUBADOR (sic) SONG
Columbia 38484 COLORADO TRAIL & ROVING GAMBLER b/w BONNIE WEE LASSIE
Columbia 38485 DIVIL AND THE FARMER b/w JOHN HARDY

The above information is from Billboard Magazine and the Online 78-rpm Discography Project.
