The album was intended to be a collection of the group's singles, but it is more widely known as a compilation of their best-known hits, as it does not include the singles "Stillness in Time", "Half the Man" (available on both the regular and deluxe Japanese pressings), "Light Years", "Supersonic", "King for a Day", and "You Give Me Something" (available on the 2022 vinyl reissue), as well as omitting the international-only singles "The Kids" and "Black Capricorn Day".
The album also includes two newly recorded songs, "Runaway" and "Radio". High Times, which peaked at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart,[4] ended Jamiroquai's tumultuous contract with Sony BMG.
The sleeve art features Jay Kay's signature Silver Crown headpiece, photographed on a beach with rock formations.
2022 vinyl release
In December 2022, more than 16 years after its original release, High Times was issued on vinyl for the first time, including a standard version and a special-edition green version with a collector's booklet.[5][6][7] The vinyl version also included the track "You Give Me Something", which had been omitted from previous releases.[citation needed]
