    Dusty Groove has it for $26.99 and as usual, they include
    a nice, informative comment:

        Polydor (Japan), 1999 Condition: New Copy | View Cart

        A killer set from this great Japanese soul singer!
        Monday's reinvented her style here, and she's adding a
        Latiny vibe to the mix -- for a sound that's given her
        her best record in years! The quality of the tracks is
        excellent -- with tight tight songwriting, stellar jazzy
        grooves, and nice little touches, like Latin flute (by
        Dave Valentin) and vibes. This should be the record that
        they bring to America -- but as with all of her titles,
        it will probably only ever be available on Japanese
        import. Titles include "Play It By Ear", "Thinking Of
        You", "Full Bottle Of Soul", "Zurich Samba", "Oasis",
        "Tomorrow's Sunrise", and "Higher".

    I haven't listened to it, myself, but dustygroove's comments
    sound reassuring.
