So Real was released in 1991 and has Jerome Stokes doing the lead vocals.
The video was shot in a local scrapyard, the only props brought in being a few lights, the band (and their haircuts) and a few cans of petrol from the local petrol station.
As the budget was tight the band had no stunt doubles and the effects supervisor consisted of various people from the label pouring petrol over everything and the scarpyards crane operator swinging burning Escort's about overhead - what ensued is captured in the video you are now watching, how no one was injured is still a mystery to all involved!

If you were there in 90s when this dropped then you know the feeling.
Epic tune for the era.

@sparks5063
This tune never gets old, heard 100’s of times since the early 90’s and still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end!
@SynthMagic
They used to play this in The Bassment in Birkenhead and it used to lift the roof off the place. Damn, I miss those nights. What a great little club that was and a great crowd of people. Wish I had a time machine to go back.
@alanmctavish4802
Synth magic, i think it blew the roof every nite club.
@alanmctavish4802
Synth magic, i meant to say i think this brilliant song back in 1991,92 just lifted the roof off all the best night clubs in those days ryth. In 1992 the dance music was just brilliant in that year alone there was so many great tunes its impossible to even name half of them. Alot were so hard to get becouse they were imports. But how i would love to go back to those days.
@dylantapril9414
