Tracking down information on a decades-old country music compilation, probably from Columbia Records...?

I remember listening to songs from a two-tape set in the mid- to late-70s, and while I clearly remember some of the songs and artists, it might be interesting to learn which others were there that I didn't listen to much or just don't remember.



It was probably a Columbia compilation. The two tapes were red and there was a logo--either a "C" or a target--on the front of each one. There was enough music on them to imply that the vinyl release would have been a four-record set.



I've been thinking about these because a political parody of "Big Bad John" as applied to John McCain has been mentioned in the news, and the Jimmy Dean version was on one of the tapes.



Other songs were "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash, "Delta Dawn" by Tanya Tucker, "Stand by Your Man" by Tammy Wynette, "Rose Garden" by Lynn Anderson, "Flowers on the Wall" by the Statler Brothers, "Almost Persuaded" by George Jones, "Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me," by Mac Davis, "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Flatt %26amp; Scruggs.....?
