The High Road is a live EP by the English rock band Roxy Music. Recorded at the Apollo in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 August 1982 during the band's Avalon tour,[2] it features four tracks. Two of the songs are covers, including Roxy Music's no.1 hit version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" and Neil Young's "Like A Hurricane". A Bryan Ferry solo effort was also included, originally released on his 1978 album The Bride Stripped Bare. The EP reached number 26 on the UK Album Charts.[5]

Despite sharing the same title and cover art, there are no recordings on this album in common with the High Road videocassette/DVD, which was recorded in Frejus, France on 27 August 1982. So far, none of the recordings on this EP have been issued on CD. While the same songs were released on the full-length live CD Heart Still Beating (1990) they were different performances from a different location than those from The High Road EP.
