MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - A Toast To Panama Red +2 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, limited, European edition of the fourth (and last) studio album by the cult band, very popular in the Antipodes. Like its predecessor ("Choice Cuts" from April 1971) - this album, recorded at London's Abbey Road, offered stunning, hard-progressive and quite melodic playing in the vein of Led Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, very late The Beatles and the Australian Tamam Shud. As on the previous album, the record was dominated by very substantial, shorter forms, although the best part of the album was without a doubt the 11-minute "Games We Play". To this day I find it hard to understand why this band did not become huge outside Australia... Plus two tracks - the live "Future Of Our Nation" from 1971 (in a different version from that on "Nickelodeon") and the studio "Freedom Seekers" from 1972, recorded already as a trio, which was unfortunately the band's swan song. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Nickelodeon - Live +3 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTENprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
These three wonderful albums from the early 70s by this Australian band can easily compete with the best hard-progressive records from Britain or continental Europe, and often beat them hands down! The concert recorded in January 1971 (between the albums "Choice Cuts" and "A Toast To Panama Red") and released on vinyl only in Australia is, in my opinion, among the best rock live albums - the decidedly guitar-led playing is generally slow, intense and heavy. On top of that, almost all of the compositions (except "Because I Love You") were brand new! Do listen to the nearly 20-minute, veeery heavy version of "Evil Woman", inspired by the brilliant version by Spooky Tooth from their second album! Interestingly, the record has an almost perfect, nearly studio sound quality! This is an essential complement to the band's earlier two albums! Additionally included are three live recordings from Australian TV, including a great, heavy version of "Rio De Camero". AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Choice Cuts +2 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 55,00 PLN / 13,75 EUR
A new, limited, European edition of the absolutely excellent album, released by EMI in April 1971 (in their native Australia by Columbia under the title "Choice Cuts", and in the UK as "Master's Apprentices" - by Regal Zonophone), by a criminally underrated (outside their homeland) band. In my humble opinion it is hard to imagine better, classically rock, hard-progressive playing from the early 70s! Recorded at London's Abbey Road (see: the photo on the back of the CD...), the band's third album is stunning and quite melodic playing in the vein of Cream, Wishbone Ash, Jethro Tull, Ginhouse and the Australian Tamam Shud. The trademark of MA's sound was the superb combination of electric and acoustic guitars (often playing alongside each other). Fairly short, though very substantial compositions. It is really hard to understand why this band did not become huge outside Australia, where it had the status of demigods... Released in December of the same year, 1971 (again made at Abbey Road), the somewhat more progressive LP "A Toast To Panama Red" was without a doubt on an equally high level, though for me 'Choice Cuts' will always be a magical work. Plus two tracks from rare B-sides of singles. AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (JL) -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - A Toast To Panama Red - EU Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
In my humble opinion it is hard to imagine better, classic rock playing than that presented on this record by the Australian band! Like the LP 'Choice Cuts' (with the antique chair), this album, recorded in London (at Abbey Road), offers stunning, hard-progressive and quite melodic playing in the vein of Cream, Wishbone Ash and Tamam Shud. As on the previous album, the record was dominated by very meaty, shorter or longer forms and all in all it is hard to understand why this band did not become big outside Australia... A must! -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Nickelodeon - Live 1971 - GER Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
German reissue of the live album, recorded in January 1971 (and released on vinyl only in Australia), which belongs among the best "live albums". Excellent, heavy, jamming, guitar-driven moods. What is more, almost all of these live recordings were brand new! A must! Condition: NEW - sealed. -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Choice Cuts - GER Press - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 110,00 PLN / 27,50 EUR
German reissue of the absolutely excellent third album in the discography, released at the beginning of 1971, by this criminally underrated Australian formation. In my humble opinion it is hard to imagine better, classic rock playing! Recorded in London (at Abbey Road), the group's third album is frenzied, hard-progressive and quite melodic playing in the vein of Cream, Jethro Tull, Wishbone Ash and Tamam Shud. Fairly short, though very substantial compositions. It is really hard to understand why this band did not become big (outside Australia)... A must! Condition: sealed. (JL) -
MASTER'S APPRENTICES - MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Master's Apprentices (1st Album) +27 (2CD) - Aztec Music Edition - LISTEN - VERY RAREprice: 150,00 PLN / 37,50 EUR
The band's legendary debut album, released in 1967, is great freakbeat in the style of the then The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones and The Creation, and tracks such as 'Undecided', 'Buried And Dead' or 'War Or Hands Of Time' are timeless, brilliant classics! The first CD contains the original LP from 1967, five single bonus tracks and an alternative version of "I Feel Fine", while the second - the complete demo recordings from August 1966 and 16 recordings from garage rehearsals from April and August 1966, previously unreleased. A must for fans of the genre! New, sealed.
