A real guitar band around the same time as the Stone Roses both of who were predesessors to the mighty Oasis and I'm sure both had a significant impact on Noel who managed to use a similar format however he had the nowse to exploit the industry than be exploited by it. As far as I can remember The High were the best on the scene at one point and the lyrics "You never seem to understand, your always fighting with yourself, Well I've bin up and I've bin down always tryin na see myself, is anybody there, your too far gone to see the light, to mixed up n to uptight, is anybody there, is anybody there, you never seem to understand, your always fightin with yourself" or something like that, still sends a shiver down my spine after 15 years. In fact I need to purchase thier cd which doesn't have a name. It's got a black background with a cross in the middle and the only words are "The High". Can anybody help ?

I only ever had this on a c90 which I stole from the tape packing factory I worked in. Happy Daze 2 it was called.
