What was the name of the group that Mike Reid the ex-Radio 1 DJ was in back in the late 70's?
I remember a bit of the song it went "high rise, high rise the neighbours are banging on the wall again, high rise, high rise I wanna live on the ground. Was it something like the Elevators?

Amy Winehouse - Me and Mr Jones

Its a beautiful Morning

MIKE READ Had own band (Mike Read and the Rockolas!) and released single extolling the virtues of living in a high rise tower block to the tune of his "Mike Read! Mike Read! 275 and 285!" jingle ("me neigbours are bangin' on the wall again!") Jingle later changed to Mari Wilson going "Mike Read, just what I've always... want-ed!"
