"Made in CAN, Serial# 440-014-377-2, Playing Time 47:51This Canadian band from the 70's released 5 studio albums, 1 live album, and 1 "best of" album; after calling it quits, Kim Mitchell (of "Go For Soda!" and "I Am A Wild Party" fame) decided to go solo.The 12 tracks contained on this disc consist of a strange combination of "hits", like "Gravity" and "Diamonds Diamonds" (the latter used as the title for their original greatest hits), and some less successful material, both commercially and musically, like "Blowing The Blues Away" and "Blue River Liquor Shine"...Yes, MAX WEBSTER did produce a lot of good material; unfortunately for us buyers, we don't get a whole lot on this, which is sad considering there's about 30 minutes of unused space... For the un-initiated, the track "Battle Scar" features a collaboration with RUSH.I would suggest the "The Best Of Max Webster Featuring Kim Mitchell" CD instead!"

Another '70 canadian great band

"AMG classified this band as heavy metal? There is not one thing metal in it. It is more art rock style. The heaviest song is "Battle scar" with Geddy Lee singing with the band. Kim Mitchell was the entertainer of the group and was fun to look at.Most known songs are "Let go the line" (with that nice wooden percussion sound), "Paradises skies" and "Diamonds diamonds". The ones I like the most are "The party" and "Check".Just enjoy it!"
