It was Cilla's first album to fail to make the UK charts.

The album title was inspired by the lead single "Surround Yourself with Sorrow" which had previously reached No.

[1] An Italian language version of this song "Quando Si Spezza Un Grande Amore", with Italian lyrics by Mogol, was also recorded for the Latin market, while a Swedish language version "Försök och sov på saken" was recorded by Anni-Frid Lyngstad prior to her international success with the group ABBA.

On 7 September 2009, EMI Records released a special edition of the album exclusively to digital download.

A digital booklet containing original album artwork, detailed track information and rare photographs will be available from iTunes with purchases of the entire album re-issue.
