This may clear up the issue a bit:

As a matter of fact, Capitol pressed those albums even though Pickwick had its own pressing facility (Keel Mfg.). There was at some point a lawsuit from the Sinatra side claiming that Capitol had no right to sell his product at budget prices as it diminished his reputation. I don't think anything came of it however.
