"The Early Best of Cusco" is a compilation album by German cross-cultural new age band Cusco. It was released in 1999, though its contents specifically focus on Cusco's earlier works from Desert Island (1980) through Concierto de Aranjuez (1986), with the exception that Island Cruise (1984) is not represented. There was actually a Japan-only compilation release in 1989 titled "The Best of Cusco" (no relation to the Higher Octave set The Best of Cusco from 1997) with this exact same tracklisting. Many online retailers have this item listed as "World of Cusco".
