Heartland

Very nice clean vinyl, gatefold cover (original price sticker on top right.). Includes hit song, Send Me an Angel.

Heartland is the debut album from Melbourne band Real Life, released in Australia in 1983. The album was picked up for distribution in the United States in the same year by MCA Records and released worldwide by Curb Records[2] in 1984.

The album won Best Debut Album for 1983 in Australia (Countdown Music and Video Awards 1984).

The first single released from the album, "Send Me an Angel", is unquestionably Real Life's most well known song. The song reached the top 5 in Australia and got as far as number 29 in the Billboard Hot 100. In New Zealand and Germany, "Send Me An Angel" reached no. 1. The song has become Real Life's signature song, having been re-released on several occasions throughout their career, most notably in 1989 where a remixed version performed better than the original on the Hot 100, peaking at no. 26.

The second single, "Catch Me I'm Falling", also fared well in the United States, peaking at no. 40. In Germany the song reached no. 9 and Australia no. 8.

This album was re-released in the early 2000s and this updated version contained four bonus tracks, including the original extended version of "Send Me an Angel."
