20 From '81(9) A Flock Of Seagulls John Peel Session 12th May 1981

 

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.

Right, so the connection is obvious and pretty well known within these circles and I am sure that some visitors to these pages will loath this particular post. For my part, I quite liked this band back in the day. Another scouse band (it seems that they all were in the late '70's, early '80's i the aftermath of punk), A Flock Of Seagulls stood out on account of front man, Mike Score's rather elaborate and let's not pull punches, ridiculous barnet! Having said that the music (at least their eponymous first album) was OK. See what you make of it.
