Part 2/8:
Ted Albert joined the family company, Alberts, as a member of the board at just 25 years old. During a pivotal board meeting in 1963, he proposed diversifying the company's focus to include record production, aiming to create and promote an Australian sound in popular music. This was a time when the local music scene was heavily influenced by British and American styles, and Albert’s vision was aimed at breaking this trend.
He nurtured a group of working-class, migrant youths, including the famed Young brothers—Angus, Malcolm, and George—who would soon evolve into renowned musicians. This generation was ready to embrace a culture free from "cultural cringe," and thanks to Albert, they found the space to thrive and be heard.
