The saxophone player Kristinn Svavarsson became a full member after playing as a guest on the band's first two albums. Surprise Surprise was recorded at PRT Studios, London in July–August 1982 and mixed at Red Bus Studios in September. It was the second time the band worked with producer Geoff Calver in London after the recording of their second album Í Hakanum{{snd}} released internationally as Mezzoforte and re-released as Octopus in 1996{{snd}} in 1980. Despite gaining some popularity and playing concerts in the UK, the album was first released in Iceland in 1982 simply named 4 and then renamed Surprise Surprise for the international release. CoverSurprise Surprise was originally released in Iceland as 4 with a different cover, but the record company decided to use the cover of Mezzoforte's third album{{snd}} Þvílíkt Og Annað Eins, released only in Iceland{{snd}} for the international release.[1][2] The 1996 remastered version was released with the slightly modified international cover. This edition has a few discrepancies:[3] Chris Hunter and Bill Eldridge are credited as trumpet and saxophone players respectively{{snd}} this mistake was even present on the band's official website for a while[4]{{snd}} Eirikur Ingolfsson is not credited as percussionist, and Shady Calver is credited on her maiden name: Shady Owens.[5]Garden PartyGarden Party was chosen to be released as a single, even though the band wasn't sure whether to include the song on the album. It became Mezzoforte's biggest hit and charted in most European countries and Japan. After its success the band moved to England and started touring in Europe.[2] Garden Party has been featured in TV programmes and commercials, gaining even more publicity for Mezzoforte through the years.
