"Buried and Dead" is a song by Australian rock group, the Masters Apprentices, released in May 1967 on Astor Records as the second single from the band's debut self-titled extended play.
In mid-1966 Adelaide-based rock group, the Masters Apprentices, shared a gig with pop star, Bobby Bright (of Melbourne duo, Bobby & Laurie), who was impressed and recommended them to his label, Astor Records.
[1][2] The band went to a local two-track studio to record it, but realised that they had only three suitable songs: "Hot Gully Wind", "Buried and Dead" and "She's My Girl".
[1][3] The group relocated to Melbourne and the demo, including the newly written, "Undecided", became their debut extend play, The Masters Apprentices (February 1967).
[3][4] "Buried and Dead" and "She's My Girl" were lifted from the EP and released as its second single in May, which peaked at No.
