A Maximum High, originally released in April 1996, is Shed Seven’s second studio album – This 180g vinyl re-issue faithfully replicates the original Polydor UK pressing including the 12 page lyric book.

Recorded in London during 19951996 and produced by Chris Sheldon, the album marked a significant step forward for the York-based group following their 1994 debut Change Giver. Written by band members Rick Witter, Paul Banks, Tom Gladwin and Alan Leach, the record captures the energetic guitar-driven sound that helped define the Britpop era.

A Maximum High reached number 8 on the UK Albums Chart and produced five UK Top 40 singles: “Where Have You Been Tonight?”, “Getting Better”, “Going for Gold”, “On Standby” and “Bully Boy”. Among these, “Going for Gold” became the band’s biggest hit, peaking at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart.
