Blue Angel (Blue Angel album)

Blue Angel is the only studio and eponymous album by the American band Blue Angel released in 1980. They were fronted by a pre-fame Cyndi Lauper. The band was fairly short-lived and the album was not a major success until after Lauper's solo career exploded.

The album has been reissued several times, being available for digital download in 2007, and on compact disc in 2023, following its limited CD reissue in 2005 through Universal Records.
