Albania (Greek: Αλβανία) is the name of a studio album by popular Greek singer Marinella. It was released on 9 October 1973 by PolyGram Records in Greece[1][2][3] with lyrics about the Greco-Italian War of '40.[4][5][6] Marinella made their debut performance with a concert in the Municipal Theater of Piraeus, conducted by Giorgos Katsaros, on the eve of Ohi Day, with live streaming by EIRT, on 27 October 1973.[7][8]

This album was issued in mono and stereo. The stereo version of this album was released on CD in 1994 by PolyGram.[9][10] In 2007, Universal Music Greece granted a licensed re-release to Athens-based Espresso newspaper for their Chrysi Diskothiki (Golden Record Library), the re-release contained the same tracks as the original album.
