Max Webster – Diamonds, Diamonds (1981, Canada Vinyl LP) — Anthem ANR 1633

Released in 1981 on Anthem Records, Diamonds, Diamonds is a Canadian compilation LP showcasing the best of Max Webster, the progressive rock band led by guitarist/vocalist Kim Mitchell and lyricist Pye Dubois. Spanning material from 1976 to 1980, the album includes tracks from all five studio albums plus the previously unreleased title track “Diamonds, Diamonds.”

The compilation reflects the band’s evolution from quirky, jazz-inflected rock to polished arena-ready songwriting. Anthem’s Canadian pressing features full liner notes, production credits, and a vibrant collage-style cover design. All tracks were remastered from original sessions produced by Terry Brown, Michael Tilka, and the band.
