    I believe this is the version I have but the etching in the runouts reads:

    Side 1: 422-824-300-1-AS-ALD O B-20832-ALD SLM [triangle] 9068 1-1
    Side 2: 422-824-300-1-BS-ALD O B-20833-ALD SLM [triangle] 9068-X 1-1

      Q: What is being chanted in Spanish during 'Listen'?
      A: "Cumple anos chica, no hay que preocuparse"

      (It is not, "Let me have a chicken nugget in the sand.")
