RECORDING 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.
