Blue Angel is the only album released in 1980 by the band of the same name. They were fronted by a pre-fame Cyndi Lauper and sang a combination of Rockabilly and R&B cover songs. The band was fairly short-lived and the album was not a major success until after Lauper's solo career exploded. It has been released on five separate occasions:

• 1980 on Polydor Records on vinyl and cassette (Red Cover)
• 1984 on Polydor Records on vinyl and cassette (Yellow Cover)
• 1986 on Polydor/Reed Records on vinyl and cassette (U.S. only)
• 2005 on Universal Records on vinyl and CD (5,000 copy limited edition)
• 2007 on iTunes
