This mix is definitely different than the one most of us grew up listening to. The congas are so much more prominent, among many other differences. Anyway, this is a very reasonably-priced Japanese CD with an OBI. I don't have the old deluxe CD where this mix first appeared to compare, but I suspect this one is better. It actually sounds good, which was not my general feeling about that old Deluxe Series. It's not as warm as the recent Kevin Gray vinyl of the standard mix and I feel like it's a bit bright, but not bad at all. I was pleased to see this available in the US with Prime shipping. I had been thinking about ordering it from Japan, but the shipping drives the cost way up.
