"Suzanne" was on his first album, from '69 I think - it was simply called "The Songs Of Leonard Cohen". It also contained another Cohen classic, "Hallelujah".

If someone want's to have a good collection of Cohen songs, without buying the whole back catalogue, the double compilation CD "The Essential Leonard Cohen" really have a lot of the good stuff, almost 2½ hours of music (including the two songs mentioned above, of course). The older tracks have been cleaned up, too (without spoiling them!), and there's music right up to his latest album, "Ten New Songs". One of the best compilation CD's I know of.
