In 1995, Repertoire Records re-released the album on CD. It only held the songs from the original LP, and all physical media issues of the album have since remained out of print. However, the album is still available via online MP3 download on major sites such as Amazon and iTunes.

In February 1981, Meanwhile Back in Paris... was certified platinum in Canada (in excess of 100,000 copies sold).^[3]
