Originally released in 1986 as Meredith Brooks by Ariola, the album was reissued on November 11, 1997, by Bizarre Planet Entertainment.

Recorded in 1984, the album was originally released as Meredith Brooks in 1986 by Ariola Records. It was released exclusively in Europe and received minimal recognition.[1] In an effort to capitalize on Brooks' newfound success following Blurring the Edges, Bizarre Planet Entertainment reissued the album in November 1997 under the title See It Through My Eyes.
