Dream Come True Is The Fourth Album By A Flock Of Seagulls Released In 1985 In The UK And In 1986 In The US By Jive Records. Left With Three Members With The Departure Of Paul Reynolds The Band Waited And Toured. Brothers Mike And Ali Score Wanted To Base The Band Out Of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. With Past Success In The USA Both Brothers Thought Leaving The UK And A New Life In America Was A Perfect Solution. With The Popularity Of The First Two Albums And The Name "A Flock Of Seagulls" Still Having Some Equity They Had 4 Straight Sell-Out Shows In Philadelphia. Mike Ali And Frank Maudsley All Applied For And Were Conditionally Awarded Green Cards Based On Celebrity Status Under The O-1 Work Visa. The Conditional Approval Was Granted To All Three Who Settled In Philadelphia. Frank Became Disillusioned With Living In A Strange City He Loved A Flock Of Seagulls But Had No Family. Missing The UK He Returned To England. Mike And Ali Stayed In Philadelphia And Satisfied The Terms Of The Visa. With Frank In Britain And The Brothers In The USA It Would Appear The Band Was Split Into Two Camps. In Fact It Was Frank Maudsley Who Kept The Band Communicating. Unfortunately The Brothers Had A Falling Out That Resulted In Mike Remaining As The Sole Remaining Original Member Of The Touring Band And Ali Going To Boston. Ali Played In A Hard Rock Band And Then Worked For A Computer Company In Cambridge Once The Work Visa Turned Into A Permanent Resident. Frank Was The Go-Between For The Brothers And During The Recording Of Dream Come True Some Have Indicated That Ali Played On Only 3 Songs Frank On 4 And Mike Did All 9. One Of The Songs That All Three Did Play On Was Entitled "Cosmos Effect Of The Sun " And Was Dropped From The Album. This Dropping Of The Song Brought The Track Listing Down To 9 Songs For The Album. A Large Row Ensued Where Frank And Ali Wanted To Drop "Love On Your Knees" And Include Cosmos. It Was With This Argument That Two Videos "Who's That Girl" And "Heartbeat Like A Drum " Were Filmed In Quick Succession. These Two Videos Were The Last Time The Three Remaining Members Were Together In A Recording Or Music Capacity Until 2004.
