Reception

Real to Reel marked a drastic change of direction from their previous progressive rock efforts to a more album-oriented rock sound. It was a commercial failure, generally panned by critics and fans alike [3] and ultimately led to Starcastle disbanding. Bassist Gary Strater moved to San Francisco before forming a new version of the band in 1985 that featured future Vicious Rumors guitarist Mark McGee.[4]
