Surprise (Lynsey de Paul album)
Surprise is the first album released by Lynsey de Paul on the MAM record label in 1973. All of the songs were written or co-written by de Paul, who was accompanied by some of the UK's leading session musicians including Terry Cox, Ralph McTell, Ray Cooper, Jeff Daly, John Gustafson, Chris Rae, Danny Thompson, Barry De Souza, Dick Katz, Robert Kirby, Francis Monkman, John Richardson and Johnny Van Derrick.[1][2] The album has a gatefold sleeve with illustrations provided by de Paul, a nod to her previous career of designing album sleeves.
In 2005, the album was released on CD in Japan on the AIRAC label, and featured the following additional bonus tracks: "Storm in a Teacup", "Getting a Drag", "Brandy", "All Night", "Blind Leading the Blind", "Won't Somebody Dance with Me", and "So Good to You".[3] It also featured the original gatefold sleeve cover.
