Release

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.
