Formats & Track Listings

The Alma Caribeña ~ Caribbean Soul album was released worldwide on CD, Cassette, and MiniDisc. In the U.S., a VHS including the music video for No Me Dejes De Querer was included with purchase of the album during the first week in limited numbers at specific retail locations. The U.S. also had an exclusive 2-CD "Limited Edition" version that was released exclusively at Warehouse Music stores, that included a Bonus CD with the "Unplugged Version" of No Me Dejes De Querer. The album was released on a single layer 2-channel stereo Super Audio CD in the U.S. and Japan. A new format at the time that required a Super Audio CD player for playback that offered the album in a higher resolution than the standard 16-bit/44.1-kHz audio CD. An "advanced" promotional CD version of the album was released in the U.S., rare among collectors, the track listing was in a different arrangement from the commercial release. No Me Dejes De Querer was moved to track one, instead of Por Un Beso. The Japanese CD release was an Enhanced CD (E-CD, also known as CD Extra) that included the music video for No Me Dejes De Querer. The Japanese CD also included a bonus track, the "Acoustic Version" (also known as the "Unplugged Version") of No Me Dejes De Querer.
