MASTER'S APPRENTICES - Nickelodeon - Live +3 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - VERY RARE - LISTEN

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)
