What’s up Sorry Staters? I hope everyone has had a nice week. Last week in the store, we put out a bunch of 60s-70s garage singles in our 7” section. Naturally, me and Dom gave them all a listen, but the one that really stood out to me was Undecided by The Masters Apprentices, which also featured “Wars, Or Hands Of Time” on the B-side. Originally released on Astor Records in 1966, this was the first single released by the Australian group under their new name. The title comes from when the studio owner asked for a name for the track. No one had a solid answer, so they went with “Undecided.” It has that psychedelic garage sound that I really love mixed in with a bit of the blues. The band’s rhythm guitarist, Mick Bower, stated that the band’s sound was very influenced by blues artists like Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed, and Robert Johnson. I really love the B-side on here. The fuzz, the drums, everything about it just sounds so amazing and it demands to be played multiple times in a row. It always blows my mind when music can stand the test of time so well and still sound so fresh today, and this is no exception.
