Alter Ego is a studio album by French singer Amanda Lear first released in 1995, which yielded three German single releases in the Eurodisco genre; the previously issued "Everytime You Touch Me" plus "Angel Love" and "Peep!" - the theme song to her erotic German TV-series, subtitled Beware Of The Blondes. All three tracks were available in a wide range of extended dance remixes and a few more would turn up on various hits compilations. In 1998 Alter Ego, which marked Lear's return to Munich after twelve years, was to undergo the remix treatment yet again as large parts of it was remade and remodeled for compilation Back In Your Arms and in 2005 "I'll Miss You", a cover of I Santo California's 1975 hit "Tornerò", was to be re-recorded as a duet with German-Spanish singer Manuel Sanchez for his studio album Ambitious.
