In 1999, the band issued a "best-of" album featuring three new tracks, called "Super Colossal Smash Hits of the 90s: The Best of The Mavericks". The album was quickly reissued the following year with two additional new tracks. However, the release did not spin off any top 40 hit singles in either the US or the UK, and the band found itself in a financially precarious situation. In February 2000 the band suspended payments to all their salaried employees, and in May they fired guitarist Nick Kane. Malo embarked on a solo career at this time, and the group effectively dissolved for the next few years.
