A Flock Of Seagulls – A Flock Of Seagulls (Vinyl LP, 1982, Jive/Arista VA 66000, Hauppauge Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
A Flock Of Seagulls’ 1982 debut became one of the defining American crossover albums of the early new-wave and synth-pop era. “I Ran” and “Space Age Love Song” gave the album its enduring profile, while “Telecommunication” and “Modern Love Is Automatic” document the band’s earlier electronic sound. The record helped establish the Liverpool group in the U.S. during the first wave of MTV-driven British new wave.
