"Oh Carol" and "You Mean Everything to Me" were relased as a single in Israel 
years ago. 

The other songs were avaialbe on a Live LP in Australia...don't know if they 
were ever released anywhere else.

In the 50s and early 60's, it was not unusual for artists to record their 
hits in varuious languages for release in differnt countries. Neil had many 
hits 
records in Italy--as did Paul Anka, The Clovers,etc. Recently I picked up a 2 
CD of Neil Sadaka's Greatest Italian Hits.

Many Israeli Artists also released recordings in various languages for 
foreing markets... Hana Ahroni recorded one of her Israeli hits in German and 
had a 
#1 hit in Germany.
