It's a digipak, which I'm not too fond of, but that's not too big a quibble. Being quite familiar with the mono version of "Quiet Village," I immediately cued up the stereo version on this cd. The difference was rather notable at first: the stereo version is slightly slower in my opinion. The other tracks are not as familiar to me, being that this is my first purchase of this record. Will try to compare them as the differences become apparent. The reissue re-creates the sleeve front & back, and has some info about SPECTRA-SONIC-SOUND. The inside contains some liner notes from Joe Foster, who produced this reissue. Behind the CD tray are the other titles they've listed as Available or Coming Soon in this reissue series: Exotica I, II, III, Primitiva, Forbidden Island, Hypnotique, Quiet Village, Afro-Desia. Got my copy at a great price from the fine folks at http://www.dustygrooveamerica.com in Chicago. Cheers, Rupe
