"Offer Nissim Presents" was the first album released by Dana International in 1993. Back in her early days it was common to see her first name spelt "Danna".

Catalogue number is IMP Dance 1993 - IMP 2004, although quite a few copies of the album misprint the catalogue number as "IMP 4004" on the CD label.

This album features covers of Baccara's popular hit "Yes Sir, I can boogie" and the Queen song "The Show Must Go On" sung in Hebrew, with the chorus in English.

The song "Fata Morgana" appears on this album as well in two different versions. Funnily enough, singer Ofra Haza and the Austrian band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung recorded totally different songs each with the same name.
