Realization is the fifth studio album by the American musician Johnny Rivers, released in 1968.

Rivers wrote two of the songs and co-wrote a third.

The remaining seven are covers of popular songs from the mid-1960s.

14 pop chart single "Summer Rain", written by James Hendricks, a former member of the Mugwumps.

The album reflected some of the psychedelic influences of the time, like the song "Hey Joe" with a two-minute introduction and also marked a change in Rivers' musical direction with more introspective songs such as "Look to Your Soul" and "Going Back to Big Sur".
