"Real to Reel" is Marillion's first live album, recorded at the Spectrum, Montreal, Canada, and De Montfort Hall, Leicester, England. In addition to two songs each from the first two albums, "Script for a Jester's Tear" (1983) and "Fugazi", the original standard (vinyl) version contained live recording of two tracks not previously released on albums, the a-side of the band's 1982 debut single "Market Square Heroes", and "Cinderella Search", the b-side of "Assassing" (1984). The track "Emeral Lies" was originally a bonus track on the CD and cassette versions of this album. The original CD and cassette version included "Emerald Lies" (from "Fugazi") as a bonus track. The album, from which no singles were released, reached #8 on the UK album charts [http://www.everyhit.co.uk/] . .

1997 Re-issue

In 1997, the album was re-released as a two-disc set bundled with Brief Encounter, an EP originally released by EMI's American label Capitol Records to promote the band's 1986 U.S. tour. The 1997 edition was not part of the remastered series of Marillion's first eight studio albums that EMI released in 1997/1998.

2005 Re-issue (Japan)

In 2005, a "vinyl replica" CD version was released in Japan. This edition includes two additional bonus tracks, "Margaret" and "Charting the Single", both originally from the 1983 Garden Party single and its 12" version, respectively.
