Release Notes
Tarkan's first international album, this is actually a compliation album of his two previous albums A-acayipsin and Ölürüm Sana.

This Japanese export is advertised as having three bonus tracks, but the only real extra track not found on the European and American releases is the "Bu Gece (Kır Zincirlerini)" Club Remix. The Malagutti Remix of "Şımarık" found on this release is the short version.

The Japanese release kept Track number 3 as "Bu Gece" (Kır Zincirlerini) - Remix '99 (taken from the single), but the original version of "Bu Gece" was removed from this album altogether.

This release also came with a separate booklet of Japanese translations of the song, credited to İnan Oner.
