Fairouz Andaloussiyat Egyptian cassette (1966, 1994)
You’re all in for a real treat. Fairuz is known as one of Lebanon’s marquee female vocalists and as the artist Ministry sampled for “Hizbollah” (1988). Andaloussiyat‘s cassette copy was released on Lebanon’s Sawt al-Sharq (Voix De L'Orient) label but Cairo’s Art Line distribution released it for Egyptian audiences. Fairouz’ script is ornamented Kufi and Andaloussiyat is written above in Thuluth, all read from right to left in Islamic culture. The j-card is one-third pink with black type, housing a white cassette with blue print. It’s aestheitc like this that makes me wish I could find and collect these foreign titles.
