The Capitol Years is a compilation album of the American folk music group the Kingston Trio's recordings from their time with the Capitol Records label.
The box set was released in 1995 and contains 4 discs, featuring, in total, 107 digitally remastered songs, 33 of which were previously unreleased. The compilation also includes songs recorded by Kingston Trio-related groups, such as Dave Guard's pre and post-Trio groups, Dave Guard and the Calypsonians and The Whiskeyhill Singers, along with John Stewart's pre-Kingston group, The Cumberland Three.
The set also included a comprehensive 48-page booklet, complete with detailed track-by-track annotation.
Allmusic music critic Richie Unterberger praised the compilation with reservations, writing "Collectors will appreciate the inclusion of rarities by related groups like Dave Guard and the Calypsonians... Dave Guard and the Whiskeyhill Singers... the Cumberland Three... But this is way too much for anyone but the fanatic... for all its historical significance, the execution is usually far too sterile and whitebread to appeal to contemporary listeners, unless it's on purely nostalgic grounds."
All songs performed by The Kingston Trio, unless otherwise noted.
