And whilst we are on the topic of wayward images here's another in the recently neglected '20 From' series. Liverpool's Flock Of Seagulls enjoyed some success in the UK in the early 1980's before decamping to the US. Perhaps too much attention to Mike Score's barnet detracted from the music, but I thought that they were alright. The first album had some great tracks on it.

Of the sixteen posts that I made in February ten had gig files attached to them... of those ten no less than seven were Stranglers or Stranglers related (i.e. Hugh Cornwell) recordings. That's not a bad hit rate.
ReplyDeleteIn the 12 years that I have maintained this site there have been 1,971 posts of which 746 have been Stranglers related. As much of a fan of the band as I am if I just stuck to The Stranglers, and I know that technically this site is a Stranglers related site but I would have died of boredom and this site would have expired with me if it were about no other band too.
yes, i saw AFOS several times in 82, 83.
ReplyDeletefirst album very solid, paul reynolds a great guitarist and for al the ridicule of the day (flock of haircuts) they could play and get a bit noisy playing late night at the clubs.
thanks for this.
