Sold Out is an album by American folk music group the Kingston Trio, released in 1960 (see 1960 in music). It was their third LP to reach #1, stayed there for twelve weeks, and received an RIAA gold certification the same year. "El Matador" b/w "Home From the Hill" was its lead-off single, though it just made the Top 40.[1] Sold Out remained in the Top 40 for 54 weeks, longer than any other Trio album.[2] The cover features model Dolores Erickson.
The version of "Raspberries, Strawberries" included is a remake of the Trio's follow-up single to "Tom Dooley." Two songs recorded during the Sold Out sessions were not released until The Kingston Trio: The Capitol Years anthology—"Home From the Hill" and "The World's Last Authentic Playboys". The latter was re-recorded on the Whiskeyhill Singers' debut album.
The album was their third to reach #1 and stayed on the Billboard Top 40 for 54 weeks.
In his Allmusic review, critic Matt Fink called the album "solid, pleasant listening, though not particularly challenging in any sense."
