'Surround Yourself With Cilla' is the title
of Cilla Black's fourth solo studio album released on May 23, 1969 by Parlophone
Records. It was Cilla's first album to only be recorded and released in stereo
sound format. The album title was inspired by the catchy lead single "Surround
Yourself with Sorrow" which had previously reached #3 on the UK Singles Chart -
an Italian language version of this song ("Quando Si Spezza Un Grande Amore")
was also recorded for the Latin market.
