Ieri, Oggi is a compilation album by French singer Amanda Lear released in Italy on label Ariola Records in 1982. 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" ("Incredibly Woman") and "Buon Viaggio" ("Bon Voyage"), the A- and B-sides of a single issued in Continental Europe and Scandinavia in 1982, as well as 1977's "Your Yellow Pyjama" from giallo cult movie "The Pyjama Girl Case". "Ieri, Oggi" was promoted by an hour-long TV-special in Italy which caught the attention of media mogul 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 of Lear's career as a prime time TV presenter for RAI, but (not counting 1983's "Tam-Tam" which was more or less issued just to fulfill her contract with label Ariola-Eurodisc) 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 BMG Music Entertainment - the original "Ieri, Oggi" album in its entirety remains unreleased on compact disc.
