Ieri, oggi is the first compilation album by French singer Amanda Lear, released in 1982 on Ariola Records. This, the first greatest hits collection in Lear's career, was released exclusively on the Italian market.

Album information

The album, whose title translates as Yesterday, Today, contains Lear's greatest hits from her German disco era, the two Italian language ballads "Incredibilmente donna" and "Buon viaggio", both issued as a single in Continental Europe and Scandinavia in 1982 and as well, the song "Your Yellow Pyjama" from giallo movie The Pyjama Girl Case.

Ieri, oggi was promoted by an hour-long TV-special in Italy entitled Ma chi è Amanda? (translated: But Who Is Amanda?) which caught the attention of Silvio Berlusconi who was fascinated by the fact that this French star, singing in English and recording in Germany was also fluent in Italian and this became the starting point to Lear's career as a prime time TV presenter for RAI, but also a hiatus as an international recording artist that was to last until 1987 when her next full-length studio project Secret Passion was released.

The rights to the Ariola-Eurodisc back catalogue are currently held by Sony Music Entertainment. While the track "Incredibilmente donna" was included in the 3-CD box set The Sphinx – Das beste aus den Jahren 1976–1983 in 2006, the original Ieri, oggi album in its entirety remains unreleased on compact disc.
