Free (Dana International album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Free is the 1999 album by Dana International. It was released in three different editions: European, Japanese and Israeli.

The European edition has three catalogue numbers:

  • CNR 5300351 (on CNR Music)
  • FM 1106 (on FM Records, Greece)
  • CDPRC 0043 (on Star Records, South Africa)

This album was released in a different version in Japan in January 2000 and in Israel in March 2000. Most tracks were remixed for the Japanese and Israeli editions and are different from the European one. They also contain additional tracks not found on this edition. The version of "Dror yikra" on the European edition of the album is slightly different from the one used in the intermission show of the 1999 Eurovision final - that version is only available on the Israeli edition of the "Free" single.

This album mainly contains songs in English, however one or two Hebrew tracks appear as well and even more so on the Israeli edition.

This edition also includes the video of "Woman in Love" on CD-ROM format on the CD itself.

The Japanese version was released in 2000, however it was deleted not so long afterwards. This seems to be normal for many Japanese releases.

It was released on Network Records (Japan) with the catalogue number NXCA 00003.

All tracks that are included on both the Japanese and the Israeli edition are identical, but different from the European edition. The actual track listing is not the same. The remixes of This is the night and Glamorous were done by Offer Nissim together with Dana International.
