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

After Vissi left her previous label, she continued to pursue pop music with her second album. Music and lyrics for the album were written by Takis Bougas, I. Kalamitsi, Daniel Deschênes, G. Kanellopoulou, S. Blassopoulou, G. Kanellopoulou, Sakari, Psylla, 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. Years later in 1987, Kitrino Galazio was among the first sets of albums that Minos EMI released on CD; the CD edition of the album was regularly shipped to shops throughout the years. In 1997, the popularity of the single "Aftos Pou Perimeno" continued, with two remixes each of it and "Oso Eho Foni" released on a maxi single titled The Remixes: Oso Eho Foni & Aftos Pou Perimeno. The original album was then re-released in 2006 in a remastered format that included the two remixes of "Aftos Pou Perimeno".

In 2007, the songs 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]
