Release Notes
This is the USA version of Tarkan's first international album, compiled from his two previous albums A-acayipsin and Ölürüm Sana.

Due to Tarkan's huge popularity in Mexico, the European compilation album was re-released under a Latino ticket with extra tracks.

The USA release of the Tarkan album came with English translations of the song lyrics in the book cover. Those translations were collaborations between Ali Yildirim, Alper Çayhan and Marleen van Woensal.
