Hmm, what are you trying to make sense of, exactly? 

Extremely low hanging fruit but if the year at the top is surmised to be the date this mashup was recorded, then it was made sometime between 9/11/91 and 9/27/92. I don't know if that narrows down the field of possible commercially-recorded sources for the tape by much but I figured I'd mention it. 

Also, very cool find. Too bad the link to drop.io doesn't work anymore :/

>More broadly, these are the recordings I know of (on LP, CS and CD) originating in the former Yugoslavia. Does anyone know of additional recordings with even one Sephardic song? And I am trying to obtain physical copies of those highlighted in red for a research library I am assembling.
