A Flock of Seagulls is the eponymous debut album by the New Wave band A Flock of Seagulls. It was released in 1982 on Jive (see 1982 in music), and featured the international hit single “I Ran (So Far Away)”, which reached the Top 10 in the U.S. and New Zealand, as well as #1 in Australia. The song “Space Age Love Song” also managed to score radio play. On the success of the singles, the album reached #10 in the US.
The band, and particularly this album, were influential during the 1980s, if not for their memorable image then for their surprisingly effective production techniques, which at one point garnered the respect of legendary record producer Phil Spector, who in the 1980s called the album “phenomenal.”
