Real Time is a live album by the American musician Richard Lloyd, released in 1987.[1][2] He supported it with a North American tour that included shows with the Go-Betweens.[3]
Lloyd's manager had urged him to record a live EP, in part because his debut solo album had fallen out of print despite consumer demand for it.[4] Real Time was produced by Steve Katz; he was chosen because Lloyd admired his work on Lou Reed's Rock 'n' Roll Animal and with the Blues Project and Blood, Sweat & Tears.[4] It was recorded at CBGB, in New York City, after Lloyd had emerged from a period of heroin addiction and tentative career steps.[5][6] The club had recently installed the mixing console that Herbie Hancock had used to record "Rockit".[4] The album includes songs from Lloyd's first two solo albums as well as new material.[7] "Fire Engine" is a cover of the 13th Floor Elevators song.[7]
