Surprise! Surprise!

Among the many forgotten bands of the late '60s, few shine as brightly (and unjustly overlooked) as Singapore's own the October Cherries. From Singapore to Belgium to Abbey Road, The October Cherries reinvented themselves again and again - Truck, Col. Truck, Jade & Pepper - leaving behind a trail of dazzling Beatlesque pop-psych. Originally released in 1974 in Singapore/Malaysia, Truck's 'Surprise! Surprise!' re-arranged songs first released on the Cherries' 'Dreamseller' album and sounds like it could've been part of the '60s British psych era but filtered through early 70s production: melodic, Beatles/Badfinger-influenced English vocals, catchy songs, lush arrangements, fuzz & wah wah guitar, electric piano, and cool analog synth/Moog which gives the album a wonderful unique vibe. The album features 'Earth Song', included by the late Trish Keenan of Broadcast in her celebrated Motorway Mix. This was one of the earliest Guerssen reissues, first released in 2004. Out of print for many years, we present a new, updated edition.
