THE MASTERS APPRENTICES

One could easily make the case for designating the Masters Apprentices as the best 

Australian rock band of the '60s. Featuring singer Jim Keays and songwriter/rhythm 

guitarist Mick Bower, the band's earliest recordings combined the gritty R&B/rock 

of Brits like the Pretty Things with the minor-key melodies of the Yardbirds. 

The compelling "Wars or Hands of Time" and the dreamy psychedelia of 

"Living in a Child's Dream" were undiscovered classics, although the latter was a 

Top Ten hit in Australia. Bower left the group after suffering a nervous breakdown 

in late 1967, and the Masters grew steadily less interesting, moving from flower pop 

and hard rock to progressive and acoustic sounds. Plagued by instability (undergoing 

eight personnel changes between 1966 and 1968), the group moved 

to England in the early '70s, achieving some cult success 

with progressive rock albums before breaking up in 1972

This 18-song compilation covers the group's most popular recordings from 1965-1972. 
The eight Mick Bower-penned cuts from 1965-1967 are the clear highlights; 
most of the rest, like much of the Australian rock of the time,
 is derivative of British rock trends...(AllMusic)
