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.

Although initially intended to appear as a single by releasing the “4-By” in a soft sleeve and thus “distinguish the ‘4-By’ product from EP’s“, 4 by the Beatles was packaged in a cardboard sleeve, similar to regular EP releases. Billboard did not chart the record as a single either, but as an EP; on the Hot 100, it peaked at number 68, which was also the highest position it achieved on the Cash Box chart.
