Nickelodeon (album)

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

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

Track listing
All songs written by Doug Ford and Jim Keays, except where noted.
