Notes


This was the Masters last album before they split in 1972. Although largely overlooked at the time, it is seen in retrospect as a highly accomplished work. In Germany, France, Holland and Britain it is considered a major Progressive Rock album and a sought after collector's item.

Early 72 the band released 'A Toast To Panama Red' which died without a trace. It is now hailed as one of Australia's most creative and innovative albums. A diverse range of styles, instruments, a choir and unusual vocals mean that it is still eagerly collected in Europe (Where they are releasing bootleg copies of it). The money ran out and the band split with Glenn and Jim returning home.
