    Can anyone who knows the languages please let me know what the Arabic and Hebrew script song titles are - letter by letter. I do not know these languages well enough to decipher the printing in the sleeve - and it would help me with my archiving. Thanks.

      This is the modified sticker cover with the extra sticker on the back however the matrix #'s given are not exclusive-there are various different matrices including A4/B3/C3/D3 (which are also assigned to other pressings and show up elsewhere in the listings-it is almost impossible to pin down the exact order of pressings but you can be sure that there were several simultaneous pressings at various pressing plants and multiple master discs, in order to satisfy the demand for this album which was pressed up in 10's of 1,000s
