The Masters Apprentices

The Master’s Apprentices won Go-Set Magazine’s "Most Original Band" award in 1968, having moved to Melbourne from Adelaide in early 1966. With charismatic singer Jim Keays out front the band found considerable success, recording some of the finest songs of the psychedelic era including "Living In A Child’s Dream", "Elevator Driver", and "War Or Hands Of Time". Later hits included the V8 raunch of "Turn Up You Radio" and the stomping "5:10 Man".

The four Master’s Apprentices studio albums offer everything from classic 60s beat through psychedelia to the heavy prog vibe of A Toast To Panama Red (1972). There are a couple of excellent compilation albums, which, at the time of writing, are sadly long out of print.
