Going for Gold (album)
''Going For Gold'' is a singles compilation album by the British rock band, Shed Seven, released in May 1999 via Polydor Records. The album features sleevenotes written by Mark Sutherland, the former editor of ''Melody Maker'', who refers to the LP as the band's "Best of Album", whereas the album artwork itself carries the sub-title ''The Greatest Hits''.
==Background==
As well as compiling the band's singles from 1994 to 1998, ''Going For Gold'' featured newly recorded versions of two previous releases, "Dolphin" and "Ocean Pie", alongside brand new material in "Disco Down" and "High Hopes". "Disco Down" went on to become the last Banks-era hit for the band when issued as the album's lead single, two weeks prior to its release, whereas the follow-up single, "High Hopes", was never issued.
Like "Disco Down", the song was initially included in the album's tracklisting with the intention for it to be issued as a single,〔'Polydor: Witter A Bitter Quitter', NME Online, December 1999〕 but was sidelined post-album release by the band's record label in favour of a proposed re-issue of their 1996 single, "Going For Gold".〔 Following the band's refusal to comply, Shed Seven and Polydor Records parted company in late 1999,〔 as "High Hopes" became the only track featured on the compilation which was not a 'hit' single, and ''Going For Gold'' became the band's final album release during their time with the label.
A limited edition 2 CD set was issued at the same time as the regular album and featured a bonus disc of four newly recorded session tracks – one song from each of their four studio albums to date (including ''Going For Gold'' itself) – two cover versions and a previously unreleased demo. To coincide with the release of the album, the band went on an 8-date 'Greatest Hits' tour of the UK, beginning at Bristol University on 12 May and ending in a hometown gig at York's Barbican Centre on 4 June.
