box of surprises

In 1964 Dana Gillespie recorded her first single for Pye, with Donovan on guitar and became a regular on the folk circuit along with friends Donovan and David Bowie. She recalls: "I was doing folk because I couldn't afford a band and I hadn't found my musical niche". "

In those early years Dana got to know many of the top bands and people in the music business, appearing on Ready Steady Go and other cool TV shows of the era along with the legends of the British pop explosion. Following up our classic reissue of Dana's US-only album, Foolish Seasons, here is the UK only counterpart, 1968's Box Of Surprises! Again featuring the same cast of 1960s Brit Pop legends and morphing seamlessly from her baroque pop and freak-beat styles to sophisticated blues, this album is a perfect companion piece to Box Of Surprises, and is a Long overdue reissue!
