 | TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | Hi. Can anyone read Arabic scripts and identify the country of origin for this record? I've included an enlargement of some of the small print, which can be deleted in due course - there's more script on the label itself. |

Although the script for Farsi looks similar to Arabic to outsiders like ourselves, the two languages aren't even related (although - for obvious historical and religious reasons - there has been a strong Arabic influence). |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm also doubtful this is Farsi. I think that script tends to have a higher number of discrete characters - this script appears more 'joined up'. I'm hoping somewhere in the small print it will state the country name - any stamp collectors out there recognise anything?? |

 | nboldock Lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink. Member since Feb 2012 7198 Points Moderator | Could it be Thai? Just looking at the characters on the front too. I'm not sure it's an Arabic language, possibly something South East Asian? Has anyone looked up this Beatt International thing on it? |

| TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | It's quite definitely an Arabic or Arabic-style script. Could possibly be Urdu (for release in Pakistan)? And I did try to look up Beatt International, Nick. I just got a lot of hits for this lot!  |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | Beatt International was a UK cover-version team. This was an mfp soundalike album, released in the UK with the usual bikini-clad model on the front. So, Beatt International offers no further clues. Don't think it's Urdu (good shout though). There are a couple of key words - "Celebration" on the cover, and "Made in England" on the label, which Google can translate into Urdu and others, but I've yet to find one that matches. |

| TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | Scratch that about Urdu. I put "Revolutions Per Minute" into Google Translate for Arabic and it produced دورة في الدقيقة, (can't make it any larger than that, sorry! Try it for yourself if you want) which - allowing for different styles of script - is pretty close to what's shown on the enlarged image above '33 1/3 rpm'. So it's definitely Arabic. Which, of course, narrows it down to about 20 different states...  |
