Masters Apprentices ORIG OZ ST LP VG '67 Astor ALP1025 Psyche Garage Beat


Original 2nd Press OZ LP released in 1967 on Astor Records. Cat:ALP1025.
Uncovered in the out back of N.S.W. this record is part of a recent collection stored and unplayed for the last 20 years. Collected during the 90's and mostly sourced from overseas kept in a cool dry cellar there are some tasty gems on offer and we look forward on listing them over the next few months.
A landmark in Australian pop music, released at a time when LPs were still a luxury item and it was rare for local groups to be able to record an entire album, let alone one that consisted almost enitrely of original material. It featured the singles, several more fine originals by Bower, a cover of Bo Diddley's "Dancing Girl" and a great version of The Beatles' "I Feel Fine". The photos, shot at historic Como House in Melbourne, depicted the group resplendent in newly-acquired velvet, satin and floral-print psychedelic gear, designed by Jim Keays, who chose the group's stage outfits. Always on the lookout for eye-catching gear, Jim neatly side-stepped the problem of the conservative nature of men's fashions by shopping at 'Miss Myer', the young ladies' section of the famous Melbourne department store! Still, it was a thankless task, since Jim's carefully-chosen outfits rarely lasted more than few days, routinely shredded by the grasping talons of fans always on the lookout for a piece of their idols.
