I Ran: The Best of A Flock of Seagulls is an album by new wave band A Flock of Seagulls released in 2003. The album has subsequently been reissued under the titles Space Age Love Songs and Greatest Hits.

Contents

The album contains Mike Score's new versions of the band's songs that were specially recorded for use on Cleopatra Records remix album Greatest Hits Remixed. The album also contains two remixes taken from that album ("Space Age Love Song (KMFDM Remix)" here being retitled as the Guenter Schultz Remix) together with three additional new remixes (*). According to The Rolling Stone Album Guide, the album is "a tacky bunch of rerecordings" one should steer clear of.

The album art is an homage to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which features "I Ran (So Far Away)" on its soundtrack.

These versions were never intended for release as recorded and Mike Score was reportedly unhappy that they eventually were.
