Up for auction is an original sealed copy of the classic 1970 LP "Abraxas" by Santana on Columbia Records #KC 30130. This sealed copy has the original prefix and has the heavy thick cardboard gatefold jacket which I do believe carries the original poster. There is no way to tell for sure without opening it up but I have an original opened copy with the poster and they have an identical feel to it. The only flaw with this record is that the back cover was rubbed up against at one point and there is a 1" triangle where the shrink wrap is torn and the jacket looks like it was torn and creased within that triangle (see picture). This is only on the surface of the jacket at the top of the back cover and would not affect the record or the display factor of the front cover. Low starting bid and no reserve! Please see my other auctions for more rare vinyl.
From Wikipedia:
Abraxas is the second studio album by Santana, the Latin rock n' roll group led by guitaristCarlos Santana. Consolidating their live success at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, and the interest generated by their first album the band took some time to issue a follow-up. Released in September 1970, the album's mix of rock, blues, jazz, salsa and other influences made it a classic that defined Santana's early sound, and showed a musical maturation from their first album.
Often considered Santana's greatest album, it drew widespread acclaim for its mixture of Latin influences with familiar rock themes such as overdriven electric guitar, organ and heavy drums. The album also demonstrates Santana's stylistic versatility, including tracks such as "Samba pa Ti" (a classic slow-burning, seductive piece) and "Incident at Neshabur", both being instrumentals. The latter has several rhythm and time signature changes consistent with its jazz feel. Latin percussion — congas, bongos and timbales, as well as a conventional rock drum setup, make this Santana's first foray into true Latin rhythm. In 2003, the album was ranked number 205 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
