A new A Flock Of Seagulls greatest hits will be released in November.

Synonymous with the MTV generation and part of the Second British Invasion, the English New Wave band enjoyed success in the Early eighties in both America and around the world with singles such as ‘I Ran (So Far Away)’, ‘Wishing (I Had a Photograph of You)’ and ‘Space Age Love Song’.

The 3CD version of The Best Of A Flock Of Seagulls offers singles on CD 1, BBC Sessions on CD 2 and B-sides and Rarities (including 12-inch mixes) on CD 3.

A 2LP vinyl edition spreads the 15 tracks from CD 1 across two yellow vinyl records. The compilation is also available as a single CD variant.

The Best Of A Flock Of Seagulls will be issued on 20 November 2026 via BMG.
