Eimai To Simera Kai Eisai To Chthes (Template:Lang-en) is the name of the limited run and much valued fifth studio album by singer Anna Vissi. The album was released in 1982 by the short-lived record label Vissi and Nikos Karvelas formed for the release known as CarVi, whose name is a combination of their last names.

At the time, Vissi was still signed to the Greek division of the EMI-owned Columbia Records, which went against her contract releasing an album with a different label. The independent production and release was a result of unresolved differences under her then signing. A court order in favor of EMIAL - the Greek division of EMI and the parent company of the Greek division of Columbia Records - resulted in the withdrawal of the album only a few weeks after its release, making the album a collectible item. It is also the first album to be entirely written, composed and produced by Karvelas made for Vissi and kicks off a long collaboration. The album is considered by fans to be a raw and authentic composition for both Vissi and Karvelas, completely unburdened by any influence or control by a multinational record label.

The songs of the album appeared on compact disc for the first time in 2019 with 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 released on a limited edition of 500 copies containing all of her albums from 1982 till 2019 plus much unreleased material.
