A Million Vacations is the fourth album by Canadian rock band Max Webster. The record was released in 1979 in Canada by Anthem Records and in the United States and Europe by Capitol Records. The hit songs "A Million Vacations", "Let Go the Line", and "Paradise Skies" remain as Canadian Classic rock radio station staples. The lead track "Paradise Skies" was released by Capitol-EMI Records Britain as a picture disc single that featured "The Party" from their previous album Mutiny Up My Sleeve.
The album was certified platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association.[1]
The Globe and Mail wrote that "it's satisfying when they're right on, but even more annoying when they fiddle about on the fringes, wasting time on the sort of progressive rock material that is still oozing from the older British musicians on a daily basis."[2]
