The record spawned five hit singles: ‘Where Have You Been Tonight?’, ‘Getting Better', ‘Going For Gold’, ‘Bully Boy’ and ‘On Standby’, with the York band making appearances onTop Of The Popsno less than four different times during a momentous year. The final tour was a sell-out success, with the last gig played on 20 December 2003 at the Barbican Centre, in their hometown of York. One further album release did, however, come of their time at Taste: their only official live album, Where Have You Been Tonight? Live. Recorded at various destinations on tour in December 2002, the album was released in May 2003, six months before the band's farewell tour began. Despite gaining a loyal and ever-growing following of fans—sometimes referred to as "Shed Heads" [9]—the band failed to receive universal positive press attention in the UK; NME never featured Shed Seven on its cover, whilst the now defunct Melody Maker did so once.

Although we feel that certain aspects of the music industry have put a strain on the recording side of things in recent years, the one thing that has remained consistent throughout has been the band's love of performing live and the ability to please the fans by giving 100% every time. This is exactly what we plan to do at these last remaining shows, making a special effort to play what people want to hear. It will be a celebration, a retrospective, a Shed Seven tour to remember. Certainly, the tough, ultra-confident, tune-stuffed 'outfit' here are, Witter's emotional foghorn vocals apart, barely recognisable from the scruffy tykes on the flashy, but ultimately unsatisfying, 'Change Giver'. Indeed, parts of it are good enough to pass as someone else's second album: chiefly, the record The Stone Roses should have made instead of 'The Second Coming'.

In 2021, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of A Maximum High, Shed Seven are proud to release two new versions of their magnum opus. They belonged to the post- Smiths wave of British musicians such as The Sundays and Marion, with a sound relying heavily on complex guitar arpeggios often in a minor key, and wailing vocals. At the height of their popularity between 1994 and 1999 they had fifteen Top 40 singles [1] and four Top 20 albums in the UK. [2] The band officially broke up in 2003, but reformed for a greatest hits tour in July 2007. [1] Shed Seven continued to play shows around Britain periodically until releasing a new studio album in 2017 with the announcement of Instant Pleasures. A Maximum High spent a total of 26 weeks in the UK album chart, [13] peaking at number 8 on 13 April 1996, [13] with the Special Edition reissue peaking at number 13. [13] Discounting the band's singles compilation which reached number 7 three years later, [15] chart-wise, A Maximum High is Shed Seven's most successful album to date. It has sold 186,325 copies in the United Kingdom as of November 2017.
