Originally to be entitled "10 Irish Ballads sung by Anna Svendsen and Crew, Featuring Bridget Randolph and Brittany Scheidler on Guitar and Piccolo," the CD's title was changed at the very last minute to "Arabic Dirges with Mizz Baker, Beller, and Black," and then at the last second, the title was once again changed to a happy middle of the road Latin name, "Media Vita," which translated means, "My Midlife Crisis."
In order to remain true to the title, the CD's original Arabic Dirigible and Irish Ballad Instrumental tracks were scrapped by the wayside, but are now available through some back alley sources on 8-Track and Cr02 Cassette, with a rare music video on Beta-Max. These lost recordings, as it were, were funded by a grant from the Chef Ron Kitchen Foundation, and a subsidy from the Arthur J. Dhanagom Memorial Fund.
Tracks were not the only thing cast away from this controversial and multi-stage CD release. The original album cover was slated to feature a glamor shot of the Notorious-yet-Illustrious E. Noelle Black, the royalties for which were projecting her to be shot into the Fortune 500 financial realm of the money-marketing Soprano-rival, Mizz M. Eileen Beller. However, the original financial investment needed to back the complete photo shoot from Shenandoah Shores One-Stop Convenience Store Syndicate had the bottom completely fall out of it; by the time of the new album's release, they had not yet found it, so the preliminary photo shoots only fruit, this photograph below, was left off the cover.

Despite all these confused events surrounding the CD's development, it has been hailed as a widespread success, with millions of free copies distributed world wide, and more due to be donated next year. "I sincerely hope," said marketing expert Emma Fritcher, "that by next June we will have printed and shipped out more than 3 million copies of the recent album, which only yesterday received its own Library of Congress Catalog Card Number."
