My favourite 2018 boxset release was the Max Webster 8 cd boxset “The Party”. Hugely under-rated and immensely talented band. Their music was certainly deserving of a re-release with proper remastering, and that was what we got. I would dock the release one star though for a lack of a good booklet.
