"Fact And Fiction" is a studio album released by UK neo-progressive band Twelfth Night in 1982.

Details

Recorded during down-time at Revolution Studios, Cheadle Hulme, Fact And Fiction was engineered by Stuart Rickering, Johnny Gluck, and Pablo, and produced by Twelfth Night and Andy MacPherson. Tape effects remixed at Twilight Studios, Salford, England, with engineer Frank Walsh.

Originally to be released on the 'REVO' label (like the Eleanor Rigby single), but while Revolution was financing it the band did not feel they were getting the artistic control they would have liked, so they bought the tapes themselves, throwing their financial position into chaos.

The fisrt pressing, of 1000 LPs, sold out in 4 weeks.

When French label MSI Distribution wanted to re-issue Fact And Fiction on CD, they did talk to drummer and archivist Brian Devoil about it, but, as was the case with their Live At The Target re-issue, released it before a formal contract was made and signed.

The songs We Are Sane and Creepshow from this release are included on the compilation album Collector's Item.

The official CD was released in August 2002 with seven bonus tracks
