Having purchased the 2008 release, I would have just for the song Life Is Just A Game. The CD as a work stands up solid with School Days and The Dancer being additional all-time greats. Stanley’s bass guitar (as lead) on 'Life Is Just A Game' is masterful with Billy Cobham and George Duke topping it off. Note that John McLaughlin plays-in Desert Song.

The release for 2008 is 24-bit Remastered/Reissued; Buying this CD is like having your own copy of the original master tape. Please don’t believe in the illusion that vinyl is better. At 24-bit resolution (with DVD-A or DSD/SACD being even closer) only having the original master would be surpassed. Since the mid-80’s, studio sessions began to be digitally recorded at the start as almost all are these days. Prior to that; any 2” @ 30-ips with or without ND encoded thru digital remastering will sound great if the original tape was properly cared for.
