The year was 1983 and just prior to leaving for an overseas
tour, singer Mike Score had a date with a lady, who, during
their date produced a photograph of herself. As the story
goes, Mike asked her for it and she refused. Mike left
disappointed, but with the inspiration to write the song 揥
ishing (If I Had A Photograph of You)? The song was a hit
in UK and the US where it topped out at 26 on the charts,
adding to the band抯 newly acquired fame. If you remember 揥
ishing? then you know how contrasting it was to the other
songs of the time. Heavy with synthesizer and electronic
rhythm, light guitar riffs, - all together melodic, and
like no one else - these were the sounds that epitomized
the music of A Flock of Seagulls.

------ About artist/band A Flock Of Seagulls
Good to see AFOS last night in Manchester.Mike's voice seems to be as good now as before.A little strange seeing the new members,as I have seen them on 4 previous occasions in the early 80's;Manchester Apollo,M/C Academy(same as last night)Salford Uni and Royal Court Theatre,Liverpool.They were on for an hour with 9 songs from earlier days which the crowd of around 220 lapped up.4 songs from the recent history which unfortunately not many fans had heard so couldnt sing along to.After waiting outside for 45 minutes for Mike to appear,plucked up the courage to go inside and see if he could sign AFOS first LP.Must have been there with the group a good 15 minutes.Mike was so open and relaxed and made us feel at home.(I was with another fan)Had my picture took with Mike and really made my night.Only problem was after waiting outside and Mike chatting away,missed the last bus home to Salford.It was worth it though to see the legend that is Mike Score.

------ About the song I Ran performed by A Flock Of Seagulls
i use 2 think this song waz called i ring bt i sent my neice up stairs 2 ask my sister wat the song waz called. n she came bak n 2old me it waz called it waz called i ring more people but she iz only 5 so i dnt blame her 4 saying it wrong. bt sometimes she can b a ppain in the btt, bt at the end of the day she can b so niz.
Its basically a good song and good lyrics , but I have been spoilt, as the version I know better is from the C4 Show "Boys will be Girls".AKA - by The Honeytraps........!!
Much faster with a more solid beat. Better all round arrangement .
But without the original the cover would not have happened ...!!! (so often the case ) , eg Gloria Jones -"Tainted Love" , and Judy Street's "What" - both covered by Soft Cell.
Many people don't even realise the originals exist.....!!
