Background
The album takes its name from a song title from the band's Liverpool album.
The track listing is a mixture of singles and album tracks. The band's seven singles are accounted for here, in their album versions. Also featured are the four cover versions the band committed to album.
Rounding out the collection is a bonus CD of newly commissioned remixes by people like Rob Searle and Peter Rauhofer.
To celebrate the release of Maximum Joy, ZTT re-issued the three Welcome To The Pleasuredome-era singles complete with more of the 2000 remixes.
Repertoire Records from Germany collected two discs worth of these mixes and issued them as The Club Mixes 2000.
Design and art direction were by Simon Griffin & Ed Sullivan at Dolphin Studio.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
