Omnivore Recordings is proud to announce the release of The Rare Reprise Singles, a 24-track compilation that puts together most of the non-LP tracks that Lopez would record for Reprise Records from 1962–1970. But the long player wasn’t the only place one could hear new Trini Lopez music as he released several non-LP A- and B- sides throughout the years. Trini’s career with Reprise was plentiful, releasing 20 albums from 1963–1969 and establishing himself as one of the first Latin crossover acts to the pop charts.
The album went as high as #2 on the Billboard album charts and Trini’s live cover of Pete Seeger’s “If I Had A Hammer” soon went gold, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Record man Don Costa who worked for Frank Sinatra’s new label, Reprise Records, brought the boss to one of Trini’s shows one night and soon thereafter, Lopez was signed to Reprise and released his first album, Trini Lopez At PJ’s. Soon, he established a residency at one club in particular, PJ’s, in West Hollywood. Living and playing in Los Angeles, Trini developed quite a following. He then did some solo sides for Volk and King Records but by 1962 he was without a label and started playing clubs in Los Angeles. Trini was not interested in that style of music and soon left the band. Unfortunately, Petty wanted the band to be an instrumental outfit. Holly referred him to his producer Norman Petty and Petty helped The Big Beats and Trini get their first record deal with Columbia Records. The Big Beats played the local clubs in Texas where he met Buddy Holly. Trini played guitar and his repertoire consisted of Mexican folk songs, rhythm and blues hits and rock ’n roll favorites. 24-track collection of rare A- and B-sides from his tenure at Reprise Records Many tracks appearing on CD for the first time Packaging contain photos, ephemera, and liner notes from Gene Sculatti Trinidad López III was born in Dallas, TX on and at the tender age of 15, he formed his first band, The Big Beats.
