The Master's Apprentices - A Toast to Panama Red (1972)


01 - Answer Lies Beyond
02 - Beneath The Sun
03 - Games We Play Part I
04 - Games We Play Part II
06 - Love Is
07 - Melodies Of St. Kilda
08 - Southern Cross
09 - Thyme To Rhyme

This was the last album the Masters before splitting in 1972. Although duly ignored at the time, is seen today as a work very well designed and popular.
In Germany, France, Holland and Britain, is considered a great album of progressive rock and sought after as collector's item.
In early 72 the band released "A Toast to Panama Red," who died without leaving a trace.
It is now acclaimed as one of the most creative and innovative albums in Australia.
The diversity of styles, instruments, choirs and unusual vocals make this album is still pleasantly accepted in Europe (Where are releasing bootleg copies of it).
