Strawberry Switchblade is the only studio album released by the Scottish pop rock band Strawberry Switchblade.
The album did not live up to the high chart expectations created by the #5 (UK) single "Since Yesterday". It entered and peaked at #25 on the UK Album Chart in April 1985. The album was promoted by two additional singles: the first, "Let Her Go", reached #59 and the final single, "Who Knows What Love Is?", reached #84 on the UK Singles Chart. "Since Yesterday" also charted in Ireland and the Netherlands where it reached #6 and #24 respectively.
Strawberry Switchblade has not been re-released in the UK since the 1985, though all of the tracks (apart from the short instrumental reprise of "Who Knows What Love Is?") appeared on the group's Platinum Collection compilation. In Japan, where the group were extremely popular, it was issued on CD for the first time in 1989. The album was released again on CD in 1997 and included a number of previously released B-sides, remixes and non-album singles.
All songs written by Jill Bryson and Rose McDowall, except where noted.
