Kitrino Galazio (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 is 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, release, and present

After Vissi leaving Minos, decided to follow pop sound on her second album. The album was well received by the public with first single "Aftos Pou Perimeno" becoming instant hit and one of the most played songs of the year. The song remains a classic receiving airplay up until today.

In 1987, Kitrino Galazio was among the selection of albums that MINOS-EMI decided to release on CD as it was still popular. The CD edition of the album was regularly shipped in shops throughout the years.

In 1997, the popularity of "Aftos Pou Perimeno" was confirmed with the release of remixes of the song on a maxi single titled The Remixes, along with the song "Oso Eho Foni".

In 2006 it was re-released in a remasted edition featuring remixes of "Aftos Pou Perimeno".

In 2007 the songs of the album were included on EMI's boxset of Vissi recordings Back to Time (Complete EMI Years) which, despite of being a box set, charted on the Top 10 of sales charts.^[2]
