Travma

Travma (Greek: Τραύμα; English: Trauma) is the 18th studio album by Greek singer, Anna Vissi. It was released on 16 April 1997 by Sony Music Greece. The album was certified gold within 12 days and eventually achieved triple-platinum certification for the sale of 180,000 units. It was the best-selling album of the year and one of the best-selling albums of the 1990s. The album also includes a duet with Greek pop singer, Sakis Rouvas.

Rerelease
Travma was released in Australia with English-language liner notes and packaging in mid-1997 to help promote the Australian tour of the Trauma and her recent English-language single debut, "Forgive Me This". The album was released in a special tour edition featuring a bonus disc with five songs from previous albums. Vissi promoted the album and tour by participating in a high-profile media campaign including press, radio, national television interviews, and in-store signings.

In 2008, Greek newspaper Isotimia was granted permission to release Travma as a covermount, parting its Megales Ihografiseis ("Great recordings") series of selected albums of Greek recording artists. In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material.
