| Real World Records celebrated its 25th birthday in 2014. Founded in 1989 by Peter Gabriel (after co-founding WOMAD in 1980), the label has gone on to release over 200 albums, including the likes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Dub Colossus, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Sheila Chandra, and Afro-Celt Sound System. Some real world heavies here.
Much of the Real World catalog was (and is) recorded at the Real World Studios in Box, UK, giving the label a distinctive sound & production value. To my ears, the label's more conservative sound is somewhat out of fashion, given the trend towards re-issues and rawer sounds. However, there is little doubt that Real World will continue to release strong musical statements for years to come. Real World 25 Disc 1: Greatest Hits |
