Master (2024 Remaster)

Kicking off the 70s, The Tremeloes, once 60s pop sensations, unveiled Master, an audacious departure from their hit covers and crowd-pleasers. This self-penned opus, newly remastered with bonus singles and outtakes, delves deep into the heavier, introspective soundscapes akin to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Master stands as a testament to the band's transformative journey into rich, singer-songwriter territory, echoing the depth and complexity of Badfinger's work. Alan Blakley and Rick West's guitar mastery, paired with compelling melodies, guide the album through bold explorations from the Hendrix-inspired "Boola Boola" to the psychedelic nuances of "Willow Tree" and "I Swear." Featuring the chart toppers "Me And My Life" and "(Call Me) Number One," Master emerges as a profound redefinition of The Tremeloes' musical identity.
