Album Info

Release Date: 1999

Label: Poko Rekords

Vieraissa is the fifteenth studio album of the Finnish band Popeda, which was released in 1999.
The album does not contain Popeda's own material, but only cover songs, which is reflected in the title “Vieraissa”, which can be translated as “Sleeping Around”. The joke is emphasized by the cover artwork which is a replica of a sixties condom packing by the brand “Venus”. Condoms are also depicted on the artwork inlay.

It is also the last Popeda album with drummer Kari Holm and keyboardist Jukka Järvinen.
