Picture Book is the debut studio album by British pop and soul group Simply Red, released in October 1985. It contains the US number-one single `Holding Back the Years`, and covers of the Valentine Brothers` `Money`s Too Tight (to Mention)` and Talking Heads` `Heaven`. Three more singles were released from the album: `Come to My Aid`, `Jericho`, and `Open Up the Red Box`.

The album helped Simply Red earn a 1987 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. `Holding Back the Years` was also nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals.

A special version of the album was released on the then new Compact Disc + Graphics, or CD+G format which when played on a suitable CD player, 4 bit raster graphic images, text and animations would also be displayed on a connected TV screen.
