2009
Australian release
Cardboard digipak (called a Jakecase) is in good condition, included is the booklet which contains a lot of photographs and "notable" quotes from some of the performing artists. No writing and there is one short front tear (caused by the repeated removal of the CD - stupid packaging idea!) and the spine top and bottom are showing some wear - not terrible but wear none-the-less
CD media is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see a couple of very light ~ light scratches or marks towards the edges of the data area. This is always an issue with this type of packaging with all that "sliding in and pulling out" of the CD media. I then played this release ENTIRELY, every single track (Oh what a joy!), and there are absolutely NO issues with playback at all
The album concept is collaboration, well known Cuban artists coming together with well known "outsiders"
