Sweets from a Stranger is the fifth studio album by the British new wave group Squeeze. The album peaked at number 20 in the UK Albums Chart.[1] The band split up soon after a world tour for the record, and the two main songwriters went on to record 1984's Difford & Tilbrook. Squeeze reunited and released Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti in 1985.
In 1997, the CD was released in the UK with two bonus tracks, as part of the Six of One... box set. The set included the band's first six studio albums, each digitally remastered. These CDs were made available for individual purchase in 1998.
A 2008 reissue included the two 1997 bonus tracks, and added a further seven tracks.
