Significance and Sound

Recorded in London during 1995–1996 and produced by Chris Sheldon, this 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 vibrant rock sound characteristic of the mid-90s UK music scene.

A Maximum High achieved commercial success, reaching number 8 on the UK Albums Chart. The album spawned five UK Top 40 singles: 'Where Have You Been Tonight?', 'Getting Better', 'Going for Gold', 'On Standby', and 'Bully Boy'. The standout track, 'Going for Gold', became the band's biggest hit, peaking at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart.
