Master's Apprentices A Toast To Panama Red

Originally released in 1972, A Toast To Panama Red stands as one of the defining albums in Australian progressive rock and the final studio recording from the original incarnation of Master's Apprentices before the band's eventual reunion in 1988.

Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London during the group's time in the UK, the album captured a band at the height of its creative ambition. Expanding beyond their blues-rock origins, Master's Apprentices embraced progressive arrangements, adventurous songwriting and sophisticated musicianship, producing a record that has since become recognised as a landmark of Australian rock history.

Featuring artwork designed by frontman Jim Keays, A Toast To Panama Red remains one of the pioneering Australian progressive rock releases, reflecting the band's willingness to push musical boundaries while maintaining the melodic songwriting that had already made them one of the country's most influential acts.

To celebrate the album's 50th anniversary, this special edition marks the first Australian vinyl repress of A Toast To Panama Red since the original 1970s pressing, giving collectors and longtime fans the opportunity to own this classic album once again on premium vinyl.
