This is actually the October Cherries from Singapore but after the departure of guitarist Peter Diaz they renamed themselves as Truck for only one record. "Surprise, Surprise" is a pretty good pop album with slightly psychedelic vibes, best compared to The Beatles "White Album" era. "One Fine Day", "Broken Chair", "This Is Our Love Song", "Dreamseller" and "Lay Down Your Love" were previously released on the October Cherries "Dreamseller" LP but appeared here as new versions. I'm not sure if Benny Siew and Richard "Bib" Khan were still involved but singer/bassist Jay Shotam and new guitarist Chris Vadham were definitely on board. Originally released on Baal Records and re-issued on Guerssen (Guerssen GUESS 019 / 2004).Tracklist:
- Surprise, Surprise
- These Words I Sing For You
- One Fine Day
- Earth Song
- Broken Chair
- This Is Our Love Song
- Dreamseller
- Take Me Ohio
- Lay Down Your Love
- Love Blooms All Over Me
