This LP was released as one of the many items issued in South Africa to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Portuguese mariner and explorer Bartolomeu Dias' epic voyage around the Southern tip of Africa of 1487 - 1488, during which he and his crew became the 1st Europeans to sail around the Southern tip of Africa and thus indicate that a sea route from Europe around Africa to India existed. Carike Keuzenkamp's song 'Bartolomeu Dias' (In Afrikaans on track A1 and in Portuguese on track B7) on the album commemorates that epic voyage. The sleeve of the album bears the DIAS 88 emblem on the back (bottom left - see image which accompanies this listing), designed as official emblem of the Dias 400th anniversary logo in South Africa as well as in Portugal, where the event was also commemorated extensively.

This album also commemorates 20 years of Carkie Keuzenkamp as a recording artist and features a dozen of her biggest hits.

Track B3 has title 'Want Met Jou Wil Ek Lewe' on the disc label and 'Saam Met Jou Wil Ek Lewe' on the sleeve. (The latter is the correct one).
