This album, originally titled Foros Timis Ston Greco (Φόρος Τιμής Στον Γκρέκο, lit. A Tribute to El Greco*) was published in 1995 as a limited edition of 3,000 CD-audios and sold exclusively at the National Art Gallery and Alexandros Soutzos Museum in Athens, Greece, which was raising funds to buy El Greco's painting "St. Peter". The luxurious packaging, in a dark-blue velvet box, included a 128-page coffee table book, about El Greco's paintings, dedicated to Vangelis, and a digipack containing the CD. Each CD carried Vangelis' personal signature and a unique serial number.
The regular edition of the album was released worldwide in 1998, with three additional new tracks and a new title: El Greco.
*Domenikos Theotokopoulos was born in Crete in 1541. As a painter he became renowned for his religious pictures and portraits, leaving Greece firstly for Italy, before settling in 1577 in Toledo, Spain. The Spanish named him simply El Greco, 'the Greek'. He died in 1614.
