Edited 2 months agoJust gave this a listen for the first time in many years. One of the first "new wave" records I bought in the 70s. Pleasantly surprised. I always made cassette copies of new records so it's mostly quiet. A good pressing. Deep soundstage on my P6 with Ortofon Bronze. Lots of high end. Bass is ok.

Don't feel like making a separate release, but the lower back cover of my copy has a minor variation from the images on this listing: "Manufactured and distributed by Jem Records Inc." displayed with "Jem" in the company's logo type. See the similar message on the back cover of this Virgin International release of a different record for an example: Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear. Since that one is a 1981 pressing, that probably means my copy of Real Life is a later US pressing than this one.
