About the album

Real Life came out of Melbourne in the early 1980s, and their debut single, "Send Me an Angel," did what debut singles almost never do: it made the Australian top 10, topped the charts in Germany and New Zealand, and reached No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984. A 1989 re-recording did even better in America, peaking at No. 26.

This set puts the song front and centre, then has the band work through records they clearly grew up loving: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)," "Cars," "Fade To Grey," "Everything Counts," "Blue Monday" and "Tainted Love," before closing on a 1983 remix and a 12" remix of the hit. It plays like a very good night at an '80s club, minus the queue for the coat check.
