Kitrino Galazio (Greek: Κίτρινο Γαλάζιο, English: Yellow, Blue) is the title of the second studio album by Greek singer Anna Vissi, released in Greece and Cyprus in 1979 by EMI Greece. It was her first album after her departure from Minos, her previous record label. The album reached platinum status, and was one of the best-selling albums of 1979 in Greece.[1]

Background and release

[edit]

After Vissi left her previous label, she continued to pursue pop music with the release of her second album. Music and lyrics were written by renowned creators such as Takis Bougas, Yiannis Kalamitsis, Daniel Deschênes, Giorgos Kanellopoulos, Spyros Vlassopoulow, Marianna Sakkari and Vissi herself. The album was well received by the public, with first single "Aftos Pou Perimeno" becoming one of the most played songs of the year.

In 1995, Kitrino Galazio was among the albums that Minos EMI selected for re-release on CD; the CD edition of the album was regularly shipped to stores throughout the years. In 1997, the popularity of "Aftos Pou Perimeno" recurred, when maxi single The Remixes: Oso Eho Foni & Aftos Pou Perimeno was released, including two new remixes of the song. The original album was re-released in 2006 in remastered format, including the two aforementioned remixes of "Aftos Pou Perimeno" as a bonus.

In 2007, all tracks of the album were included on EMI's box set of Vissi's recordings titled Back to Time (Complete EMI Years) which, despite being a box set, charted in the top 10 of the Greek albums chart.[2]
