Debut album Change Giver released

In September 1994, the band released their debut album, Change Giver , entering the UK album chart at number 16 and giving the group their first Gold disc . Despite it spending just two weeks in the chart, the “critically underrated debut album”, which NME declared “an attempted stab in the face of their critics”, gave the band three UK Top 40 singles. As well as enjoying popularity in both the UK and Australia, Shed Seven also found an audience in Thailand, where they managed to beat Take That to the Christmas number 1 spot with their fourth single release, ” Ocean Pie “. The following April, “Where Have You Been Tonight?”, the first record to emerge from the band’s collaboration with their new producer, Chris Sheldon , was issued as their fifth single, peaking at number 23 and continuing the band’s chart-placing run. Although the single was “rush released” with the intention of it being followed by a swiftly recorded second album, the band failed to capitalize on the song’s success as it became Shed Seven’s one and only release throughout 1995.
