Being in my mid-late 20s, I am way, way too young to fully understand how big of an impact Yé Ké Yé Ké had on music; but the fact that Mory Kanté's recent passing is leading news on major news outlets and practically everyone knows this song (even if they cannot recall it by name) speaks volumes. RIP
I own this European CD-V and can confirm it has the Afro Acid mix that has those acid-y elements in it - though the mix is labeled as "Martyn Young Remix". It runs 5:25 and the sound quality is fantastic, from the first generation master.
