Is This Real?

Is This Real? is the 1980 debut album of the punk rock band the Wipers. It was digitally remastered by Greg Sage in 2001, and released as a part of the Wipers Box Set, with the songs in a slightly different order, along with some previously unreleased tracks.

The album was later re-issued on Sub Pop in 1993 with 3 bonus tracks from the Alien Boy EP. In 2001 it was re-issued on Greg Sage's own Zeno Records as part of a digitally remastered 3-CD set, with the track list altered so that the song "Alien Boy" appears together with the other 3 tracks of the Alien Boy EP after "Wait a Minute".

The album was re-issued on LP by Jackpot Records in 2006. It was remastered from the original tapes as provided by Greg Sage himself.

The songs "Return of the Rat" and "D-7" have both been covered by Nirvana, the latter being released on the Lithium single, and also available on the concert CD/DVD Live at Reading, as well as a variety of their bootlegs. My Vitriol covered Wait a Minute on their Cemented Shoes single.

BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel stated in a 1993 interview that it was one of his top 20 favorite albums.
