The Complete Kingston Trio Discography
A couple of quick notes before we get to the discography: the June 19th reunion of the original Kingston Trio (which we so proudly announced awhile back) has been rescheduled for either October 12th or 13th, according to the latest word from Dave Guard. The location has shifted to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. A tour of the Western states may also be in the works, so we suggest that any interested readers write for up dated information to: Russ Gary do Fuji Productions, 2700 State Street, Suite 7, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, or telephone (702) 732-2405.
Secondly, we would like to throw in a plug for our own quarterly Kingston Korner Newsletter. Most of our readers (or at least the ones we know about!) subscribe to keep up to date on late-breaking Trio and John Stewart news. Just send four 18-cent stamps or one dollar (no box tops, please) for a year's subscription to:
Ben Blake, 101 Scotland Road, Norwich, Connecticut 06360.
After three years of researching and compiling data from various companies- we finally gave up trying to find someone who knew what they were talking about at Capitol Records, by the way-we are now pleased to present our Kingston Trio discography. About one-fourth of the items were unknown to us until you readers shared the wealth, and there are no doubt many more items (especially promos) that we still don't know about. But we've waited long enough, so here it is. The reason for numbering every item has to do with what we will be running in the next Kingston Korner: a complete alphabetical listing of every tune the Trio ever cut (plus every version of every tune), and all keyed-in to this discography so you will know what was released where, etc.
Here are a few hints to help you figure it all out: as every good Goldmine readers should know, "PS" stands for picture sleeve and "PC" means picture cover. As far as we know, all of the EPs have picture covers. We have purposely ignored the album "Sing A Song With The Kingston Trio" because the Trio had nothing to do with it. We should note that items 32 and 32A were also issued as a set called "Double Play: Tom Dooley / Scarlet Ribbons;" same date, same numbers. We have only made note of non-U.S.A. releases where they differ in content from the domestic versions. Any additions or corrections would be most welcome
