TRINI LOPEZ: AN EP ‘LIVE AT P.J.s’ ’63 ALBUM MEMORY!


 

 

MORE TRINI LOPEZ LIVE AT P.J.s

ABOUT THIS ALBUM

 

*****

 

More Trini Lopez at PJ’s is the second live album by singer and guitarist Trini Lopez, released in 1963 on Reprise Records. Many of the tracks are folk music songs. The record was a result of Don Costa hearing him perform at PJ’s nightclub, in Dallas, and signing him to his new Reprise record label. The club floor was miked to get the crowd reaction on the record, as the producer and Frank Sinatra wanted the “live” experience to come across in the recording. The album peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 L.P. chart in 1963.
