Listen is the second album release by A Flock of Seagulls. It teams the musical group with record producer Mike Howlett again except on the single release (It's Not Me) Talking which was produced by Bill Nelson. The record includes the UK Top 10 hit Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You), a song with one of the longest titles to achieve such success. The shape of a person's face on its sleeve cover is in fact the band's drummer, Ali Score.
