Alongside Max Webster’s remastered albums featured here, you really need to check out founder KIM MITCHELL solo debut remastered by Wounded Bird Records.
This is an incredibly difficult review to write. How? How can words do justice to this magnificent 5-song EP of Rock perfection? Am I supposed to somehow relay in English how this album makes me, and many other Max Webster fans feel? I don’t think it too crazy to suggest that the self-titled Kim Mitchell EP is the greatest EP Canadian Rock has produced.

And here’s a delicious pie for all MAX WEBSTER / Kim Mitchell fans, “The Party ; Unreleased Max”. This collection of previously unreleased tracks were boxed not so long ago, and features juicy stuff from this talented Canadian band.
Here we find some songs that didn’t make it into Max’s LPs. Fans would know “Deep Dive” from Kim Mitchell’s solo live album, but this Max’s original 1982 demo is completely different. Same melody, same words, but a vastly different arrangement. It’s like rock and roll bluegrass, fast as possible, and insanely good. It was likely deemed too different to be on the ‘Universal Juveniles’ LP, but there’s no doubt it’s awesome and the highlight here.
