No. 67, December, 1981

    The latest additions to the LINER NOTES with direct links added for your convenience

This is the 31st edition of Kingston Korner to appear in these pages, and it is also the last. We could probably go on writing about the Trio forever, but it is time to step aside and make room for other fine features. We would like to thank all of you most sincerely for three years of learning, sharing, and just plain fun.

Special thanks this month to Allan Shaw, Paul Surratt, Bob Furmanek, Maia Rehlin and Maureen Wilson for the information they provided for what appears below.

A few clarifications on last column's Kingston Trio discography: "Midnight Special" (item No.31) was released in 1973; "Here's To Veterans" (122) was Veterans Administration Program No.983; "Guard Session" (124) was Guard Session Shows No. 59 and 60; "Aspen Gold" (39) has been reissued on the 51 West label, No. 016116.

Additions to the Kingston Trio Discography:
CAPITOL 53A. USAF 129/130. (45} Everglades/(flip by Four Preps) (Air Forte DJ only).  
Capitol 140. STBB.216 Super Oldies Vol 5. Where Have All The Flowers Gone. LP  
Capitol Silver Planer Service 141. 87188 Ally Ally Oxen Free (DJ promo).  
Capitol Silver Platter Service 142. 111/112 Walkin' This Road To My Town (DJ (Promo)

  144.   Veterans Administration Program No.130 Sound Track Five. Portland Town (DJ promo~.  
  145.   Veterans Administration Program No.138 Sound Track Five: Reverend Mr. Black (DJ promo).  

What follows is an alphabetical listing of every known recording of the Kingston Trio. It is intended as a companion to the complete discography published in these pages last column (it you missed it, please check Goldmine’s advertisement on the availability of back issue No.65), and it is carefully keyed-in to that listing by item number. Example: song titled "Ballad of The Thresher" appeared on item No.18 (the album "Sunny Side") and Item No. 68 (as flip side of the single "Desert Pete"). The year (1963) refers to the original year of release. In a case where an item was not released, the year shown indicates the year it was recorded (if known). This list should be particularly helpful in instances where a song was recorded more than once (the Trio recorded "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" four times, for example). When a Trio collection sports that title on the jacket you will now be able to discern which version it really is.

Now let's all write to Capitol and demand the release of "Water Boy," "Four Strong Winds" and "The Golden Spike!"
