Drawing on rock, salsa, and jazz, Santana recorded one imaginative, unpredictable gem after another during the 1970s. But Caravanserai is daring even by Santana's high standards.
Carlos Santana was obviously very hip to jazz fusion -- something the innovative guitarist provides a generous dose of on the largely instrumental Caravanserai. Whether its approach is jazz-rock or simply rock, this album is consistently inspired, adventurous and full of heartfelt, introspective guitar solos.
Like the type of jazz that influenced it, this pearl (which marked the beginning of keyboardist/composer Tom Coster's highly beneficial membership in the band) requires a number of listens to be absorbed and fully appreciated - but make no mistake: this is one of Santana's finest accomplishments.

LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - moderate spindle traces - seen a few spins but very well cared for
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My play-check at volume found little to fault - just a touch of low-level surface on some of the quietest moments - nothing really - but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so this will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - one of the cleanest examples I have heard - very highly recommended
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Apart from a little natural rub to the surfaces the cover is clean, crisp and fresh and the heavily textured inner surfaces are like-new
