SESSION: Tijuana
Jail (Denny Thompson) 2:48
Master #33597 recorded February 18, 1959
Album: THE BEST OF THE KINGSTON TRIO
The first released stereo studio recording by the
Kingston Trio was "Tijuana Jail". One
of Voyle Gilmore's finds, this novelty tune was
recorded In New York City and rushed out as a
single apparently because of a rumor that Harry
Belafonte was about to do the same. The song (which
would probably be banned today because of its no-longer
in vogue "Frito Bandito" humor) re-established
the group as hit-makers, as it reached #12 and
charted for three months "Tijuana Jail"
was recorded at the I same session that produced
the Trio's second studio album, THE KINGSTON TRIO
AT LARGE

RECORDING
SESSION: Good News (Louis Gottlieb) 1:58
Master #22598 recorded February 18, 1959
Album: THE KINGSTON TRIO AT LARGE
Besides being a great group performance, "Good
News" is especially significant in that it
is the Trio's first real attempt at recording a
spiritual. The boys got this one from Lou
Gottlieb, who at the time was between leaving the
Gateway Singers and forming the Limeliters. It's
from AT LARGE, an album which won the Trio its
second Grammy and spent fifteen weeks at #1.
