Reality is the debut studio album by British rock band Second Hand, released in 1968.

The album is sometimes considered to be one of the first progressive rock recordings,[1] and sometimes as a psychedelic rock/garage rock album which includes only occasional elements of progressive.

Ken Elliott stated, "I tied up the loose album concept in the persona of Denis James, and at the same time it amused me to think of a disc jockey playing a song about the romantic failure and suicide of someone whose initials were ′DJ′.

"[citation needed] In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Rolf Semprebon commented, "There are lots of long instrumental sections with guitar solos, which is fortunate because Ken Elliott's vocals are the weakest link, and a few of his song arrangements come off a little dated as well.

Fortunately, those aspects are not enough to distract too much from this otherwise excellent record.
