Nickelodeon is the first live album by The Masters Apprentices, released in November 1971 on Columbia Records.

Background

[edit]

The Masters Apprentices began their 1971 national tour of Australia in Perth. They enlisted producer Howard Gable to recorded their first show at the Nickelodeon Theatre using portable four-track equipment. The band was tired and under-rehearsed, and were not satisfied with the results, these recordings became the live LP Nickelodeon, believed to be the second live rock album recorded in Australia.[1] Two of its tracks—the brooding "Future of Our Nation" and the non-album cut "New Day"—were released as a single in June 1971.

Reception

[edit]

The lead single "Future of Our Nation" would reach #51 on the Go-Set National Top 60 Charts.[2]
