Miles High

Miles High is the fifth solo album by John Miles released in 1980. It was the first album of all new material since 1979. The delay was caused by contractual problems and Miles was unable to perform or release material.^[1]

Eventually, Miles managed to switch labels (he went from Decca to EMI) and released this album.

Reactions were mixed and the album barely managed to chart in the U.K. It was also for the first time that Miles produced the album himself.

"Turn Yourself Loose" and "Miles High" were released as singles.^[1]

There are some differences between the U.K and the U.S version of the album: first of all, the U.S version has a different cover, second it has a different track order and third it has the track "Closer to You", but misses the track "Dancin' For Joy".
