Before the arrival of Carlos Santana's eponymous band, the San Francisco rock scene drew the inspiration for its jam-oriented music mainly from blues, rock, and Eastern modalities.
Santana added Latin music to the mix, forever changing the course of rock & roll history.
On their groundbreaking debut album, the group mix Latin percussion with driving rock grooves.
Santana's unique guitar style, alternately biting and liquid, vies with the multiple percussionists for the sonic focus.
Unlike later efforts, Santana's first album features an abundance of loose, collective compositions based on a couple of simple riffs ("Jingo," "Soul Sacrifice").
This approach allows for Santana and his bandmates to flex their improvisational muscles to fine effect.
The high-energy level on Santana is infectious -- the laid-back feel of other '60s San Francisco groups was clearly not for Carlos and co.

Waiting (4:03)
Evil Ways (3:54)
Shades Of Time (3:14)

Soul Sacrifice (6:37)

LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked labels which carry moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Some light brush marks are visible but these have no effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with nothing to fault bar a couple of light ticks, nothing really, sounds great
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from a some small foxing spots beneath the laminate and a small (touched-up) patch of paper loss to the untreated back, the cover is in great shape with a nice deep gloss to the laminate and sharp edges and spine where all text is clear and bold
