Description
Cover Notes: Dana Gillespie’s second long player and first UK album ‘Box of Surprises’ is reissued on vinyl for the first time. Dana was at the vanguard of the immerging female singer-songwriter scene and ‘Box of Surprises’ is notable for being the first entirely self-penned album by a British female artist to be released in the UK on a major label. ‘Box of Surprises’ was produced by Mike Vernon, who was the leading producer of the British blues boom in the late ’60s, working on discs by John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, and Savoy Brown. ‘Box of Surprises’ is one of those elusive one-off Decca diamonds that just like her debut somehow seemed to slip through the net and was seldom seen or heard, but connoisseurs of ’60s music have gradually become aware of its charms, and this new edition remastered by Andrew Batt from the master tapes and featuring an introduction by Dana herself will likely become just as collectable as the original.
