Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" The reissue edition included the longer album version of A Flock of Seagulls’ biggest hit, “I Ran (So Far Away),” with the spacey intro. It was really cool to have them all now in one spot on a compact disc. You know the hits from the self-titled debut album by Liverpool’s other Fab Four, “Space Age Love Song” and “I Ran (So Far Away),” and – to a lesser extent – “Messages” and “Telecommunication.” But choice album tracks on this New Wave/electro pop classic like “Standing in the Doorway,” “Man Made,” “You Can Run” and the fab instrumental “D.N.A.” are equally as compelling as the hit singles.įans are directed to the remastered 2011 reissue from Cherry Pop Records, which included four bonus non-album b-sides (“Pick Me Up,” “Windows,” “Tanglimara” and “Intro”).
