It is a totally different album to the Astor release under the name 'The Masters Apprentices' from 1967.Ĭhoice Cuts represents a number of firsts for the Masters Apprentices: the first album the group has recorded where the intention was to go into a studio and record a complete album (the others being collections of work over a few years amalgamated into albums) the first of two album recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios and the first to feature the Masters line-up that would be considered the 'classic line-up' - Jim Keays, Doug Ford, Glenn Wheatley & Colin Burgess. Choice Cuts was released in Europe as 'The Masters Apprentices', sometimes with a heavily cropped version of the Hipgnosis designed cover.

There may be some confusion about this album with European readers.
