Max Webster: Diamonds Diamonds (1981)

Untitled
Diamonds Diamonds is a compilation with:

Gravity
High Class In Borrowed Shoes
Diamonds Diamonds
Summer's Up
Blowing The Blues Away
A Million Vacations
Let Go The Line
The Party
Hot Spots
Paradise Skies
Overnight Sensation
Lip Service
Hangover

It's a good collection and a good place to start. Hot Spots and Overnight Sensation were previously unreleased. While it's not a bad place to start, there are so many good tracks missing. I have to say that I think it's odd that no tracks were chosen from the band's last record, Universal Juveniles. Surely, one could have made the cut.

Even weirder is the CD compilation that was released in 1989. It was credited to Max Webster Featuring Kim Mitchell ‎and ponderously entitled The Best Of Max Webster Featuring Kim Mitchell. Check and Battle Scar (from Universal Juveniles) were added along with one Kim Mitchell tune, Kids in Action. It's a bizarre compilation.
