A CD release also titled "2023", which included several tracks from this album, a single track, and an instrumental track from "Yeni Bir Gün" was issued in the early 2000's by Emre Plak. It has a different cover, and though many tracks overlap, must not be confused with this original album. (That CD's tracklisting was featured here before the update)
