High & Mighty — девятый студийный альбом британской рок-группы Uriah Heep, выпущенный лейблом Bronze Records в июне 1976 года.
Последний альбомом Uriah Heep, в котором участвовал вокалист и основатель Дэвид Байрон.
Переиздание классического альбома великой группы на 180-граммовом виниле с лирикой и описанием на внутреннем конверте и оригинальным артворком. Идентичное оформление первому оригинальному британскому изданию.
High and Mighty is the ninth studio album by British hard rock band Uriah Heep, released in 1976 by Bronze Records in the UK and Warner Bros. Records in the US. High and Mighty was the last Uriah Heep album to feature vocalist and founding member David Byron, who was subsequently fired due to his troubles with alcohol (he later died in 1985).
John Wetton and Ken Hensley shared vocal duties on the single "One Way or Another".
The original vinyl release was a single sleeve, with the lyrics reproduced on the inner liner.
The album was not well received, as stylistically it veered from their earlier progressive rock vein into more mainstream territory, and lacked the group's signature lengthy compositions and fantastical subject matter. "Several of the songs find the band flirting with pop elements in a way that doesn't complement their hard rocking style", said Donald A. Guarisco in his retrospective AllMusic review. He added that High and Mighty "shows flashes of the group's old firepower, but is ultimately sunk by a combination of unfocused experimentation and uneven songwriting". Martin Popoff called the album "effeminate, illogical, overblown, grasping for straws", citing only the song "One Way or Another" as "promising" and the rest a squandering of "the band's flickering talents".

*****
Рок-группа Uriah Heep была основана в Лондоне в 1969 году и с успехом выступает до сих пор. Всемирная слава пришла к коллективу после выхода альбомов Look at Yourself, Demons and Wizards и The Magician's Birthday, которые считаются классикой хард-рока. 12 пластинок группы отмечались в хит-параде UK Albums Chart, всего же было продано свыше 40 миллионов копий их альбомов.
