about
The Real World is a re-recording of one of Ups and Downs’ classic songs, originally released on the 1983 cassette Darling It's Wonderful. A staple of their live show for most of the career, The Real World is hugely melodic with a driving beat, big swirling guitars and soaring harmonies. The single is backed up with another of their songs from the '80s, the previously unrecorded Closer Still, itself mooted as a potential single at the time.

Wow. After I heard “You Are Everything”, I agreed with Steve that there was no way you could possibly top that masterpiece. I don't think you did, but with this album, I'd say you equalled it. David-Olivier
This is brilliant. I've bought all of The Church's, Steve Kilbey's and the Kilbey/Kennedy albums over the years and this ranks up there with the best of them. The whole album just clicked with me on the first play and it will be played many more times. It's also inspired me to belatedly subscribe to All India Radio where much listening pleasure awaits.
