MAX WEBSTER - "A MILLION VACATIONS"
Topic: New Tab Postings

A Million Vacations (1979) was the only one of Max Webster's albums to achieve platinum status (which it did in Canada). The band scored a handful of hits off the album with radio-friendly tunes such as the title track.

The picture of Vacations to the right isn't the best or sharpest image I could find of the cover. But it did have one thing in its favour. There's one thing that irks me a bit about all of the Max Webster re-issue CDs. All of the covers of their CDs now have the text "featuring Kim Mitchell" prominently placed on them. This is not what the covers looked like when the albums originally came out. The band was Max Webster, not Max Webster featuring Kim Mitchell. Sure, I get it, Kim Mitchell's name recognition factor maybe helps to sell a few more old Max CDs. But couldn't they just put this text on a sticker on the cellophane wrapper of the CD? That would get the information out to people who might not know, but as soon as you took the plastic off the case, the CD booklet cover would look like the cover of the original release. Everybody's happy, right? But no, it has to be printed right on to the cover of all of the re-issues.  http://www.maxwebster.ca/MW_sounds.shtml So I wanted to find an image of the original album cover as it's supposed to look. Yeah, I know it's not a big deal, but Max Webster were a band, not someone and their backup band. But regardless, this tab (done by request) was fun to do. And it was a little more involved than I thought it would be at first. Which shouldn't surprise me, because it is afterall a Max tab. Wink
