Overview:
Picture Book is the debut album by British pop group Simply Red, released in October 1985. It contains the #1 single "Holding Back the Years", the band's most successful single, and a cover of The Valentine Brothers' "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)". Three other singles were released from the album: "Come to My Aid", "Jericho", and "Open Up the Red Box". The album includes 'lively' and 'energetic' groove beats and ballad orientated keyboard undertones that help songs such as 'holding back the years'to be so so effective. Members Tim Kellett and Fritz Mcintyre are acclaimed by Hucknall to be the most influential in the album based on the distinctive sound of their playing.
The album is included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The album has been commercially successful, appearing in the top 30 album charts of 12 different countries, and achieving platinum certification sales in four different countries, including America and the UK.
