Anna Vissi is the name of a self-titled album by Greek singer Anna Vissi. It is the first album with lifelong collaborator and companion Nikos Karvelas, who is credited under the alias "Nikos Leonardos". It was released in Greece and Cyprus in 1981 by EMI Greece. The album includes both original songs as well as several Greek covers of international hits. The album reached gold status.[1]
The album was repackaged with the same cover in 1982 to include the bonus song "Mono i agapi", which was the Cypriot entry for the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest sung by Vissi.
The album appeared digitally in its entirety for the first time in 2006 with the Minos EMI remastered edition named 4, since it was her fourth album under the label. The re-release was prompted by Vissi's participation in Eurovision, this time for her entry in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. Previously, numerous tracks of the album were available in CD format only via various compilations by Minos EMI. The 1982 Eurovision entry "Mono i agapi" was also made available on CD in the CD single "Autostop/Mono I Agapi" released in February 2006.
All songs from the album were included in 2007 Anna Vissi box set Back to Time (Complete EMI Years) which charted on the Greek Albums Chart.
Credits adapted from the album's liner notes.[2]
