For those who just couldn't wait any longer for the re-release of A Flock of Seagull's eponymous 1982 debut album on super-sized CD, then .. the waiting is finally over.Cherry Pop records have announced that said opus will be re-released on 21st of this month. This will in fact the third (yes, third) Seagulls re-release all of which "have sold well to the sizeable following the band still enjoys." Mmmmm.
It hasn't even got Wishing (if I had a Photograph of You) on it!!!
If that wasn't enough, their fourth studio album Dream Come True is also re-released on the same day, for those of you who missed that all important 1986 LP first time around... Can you bear the wait?

Although much mocked in their homeland, the Liverpool four-piece fared better overseas, notably in Australia and the U.S. where they even won a Grammy Award in 1983 for Best Rock Instrumental with, er, DNA off the abovementioned debut album.A Flock of Seagulls: often derided, never imitated

Not sure about the music, but I'm keen to see the artwork on this rerelease; I was asked for some AFOS-related scans from my Smash Hits collection. Hard to come by, really; as you say, they were more popular elsewhere than in Britain - a few mentions in ver Hits, but not as many as you might have thought....
I think they are/were more popular in the U.S. than in the UK.
