"A Toast To Panama Red" by Master's Apprentices (1972)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
The Master's Apprentices  "A Toast To Panama Red"  1972 (Australia)
The Mast-Apps were one of the top psychedelic bands in Australia during the 1960's; having achieved some success at home, they followed the lead of the hyper-successful Aussie band The Bee Gees and moved to London to conquer the global pop charts. They did manage to record this heavy concept album at Abbey Road studios, but it failed to take off and that was the end of the group. Perhaps the hideous album cover had something to do with it (it is really awful), and the druggie title probably didn't help either (they're trying too hard to be hip which isn't; the lyrics are almost even worse in this vein, consisting of lots of Cosmic Advice from a rock star's navel). But it is a pretty interesting record nonetheless, somewhat reminiscent of The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow album, featuring a blend of acoustic guitars with heavy electric riffs. It may not be a masterpiece, but it is at least an interesting failure (and after all they were just apprentices, not masters!)
