General Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ninth studio outing from the Heepsters and not their best effort. The record clearly
shows a band on its decline, probably thanks to the tensions between singer and co-founder
David Byron and Hensley, Box and Kerslake.

As such "High And Mighty" was also the last album featuring Byron, who was sacked one
month after the end of the follow-up promotional tour for the album. John Wetton, who'd
become close friends with Byron, also left as a consequence.

"High And Mighty" isn't a "bad" album per sé, but it's on the lacklustre side, sounding
uninspired with its shorter, more mainstream sounding songs.

Crank it up, regardless.

David Byron: Lead vocals (Except track 1)
