    Released: December 1985

Surprisingly Cilla is the title of Cilla Black's twelfth solo studio album. It was a spin-off from her television series, Surprise, Surprise, and the opening track is the show's theme tune. The album includes several re-recordings of Black's hit singles, originally recorded in the 1960s.

The album was conceived primarily as an attempt to capitalise on the success of the television series, which had drawn high ratings for ITV. Black was re-united with her former EMI producer David Mackay, but unlike their previous collaborations, neither he or Black were given any creative control over the project.[1]

Although Black heavily promoted the album and its two singles, they failed to chart. Some months after the album's release, Towerbell Records shut down and no further copies of the album were released.

Re-release[edit]

In 2003, there were plans to re-issue the album on CD until it was discovered that the master tapes for the project had been lost. The re-issue project was therefore abandoned.[2]
