Maximum Darkness is an album by the Welsh progressive rock band Man and was released on the United Artists Records label September 1975. It was the 2nd full live album of the band, and featured John Cipollina as special guest.[3] It is, however, rumoured that Micky Jones had to over-dub Cipollina’s guitar, as it was out of tune, before the album could be released.[4] The album spent 2 weeks in the UK album chart, peaking at No 25.[5]
