The Real People are a band from Liverpool, and have been active since the mid-80s. In this time, they have only put out 5 albums, two of them unreleased (this one and another, entitled Closer). On top of this there have been over 100 demos leaked online, most of which I am in possession of and will be posting when I can. Much like Oasis, the only two members who have lasted are two brothers; Tony and Chris Griffiths. The band's claim to fame is, fittingly, helping Oasis on their way early in their career, by letting them record in their studio in Liverpool free of charge. They also apparently laid down guide vocals for some of Oasis' sessions, which resulted in Liam's switch from his 'old' style of singing to the style we heard on Definitely Maybe. This album would have been The Real People's 2nd LP, had it not been cancelled shortly before release in 1992. I would've posted the self-titled debut but it was recently made available on iTunes and therefore is no longer 'rare'. This is a surprisingly long album, and although definitely not the band's strongest work (that would, in my opinion, come a few years later) it has its moments, especially Feel The Pain, Believer and Too Much, Too Young (no, not a cover). Even so, a good album by a criminally underrated band. Would recommend it to to anyone, especially curious Oasis fans. Having said that, their 3rd album (2nd officially released one ) What's On The Outside is probably their best and also the best starting point. Not gonna post that as it is also available on iTunes.
