The Real People (album)

The Real People is the major label debut album by British band The Real People, released in 1991. It was distributed by Columbia Records in the UK and Relativity Records in the US. Although the album was preceded by the band's debut Mini L.P. in 1988, The Real People was ultimately the band's breakthrough as it contained their first charting singles (one of which, "Window Pane", charted in both the UK and US).

Despite the album's success, the band's follow-up, Marshmellow Lane, was cancelled by Columbia just prior to its release in late 1992; thus, another album did not appear for nearly five years until What's on the Outside in 1996 (although Marshmellow Lane was eventually released in 2012).
