Trieste Records came into existence in 1981 with the introduction of our first LP (Saturday Live at Caffe Trieste). In August 1997, work began on the installation of a modest but capable studio on Potrero Hill at the Caffe Trieste Superb Coffees production facility. All mastering, re-mastering, special processing, tape restoration, and production is done at the studio on impeccably maintained vintage as well as modern-day, high tech equipment (in cooperation with Highland Laboratories-San Francisco).
