All it takes is a listen to the opening track and you know this band means serious business. From the very first measures of "Batuka," SANTANA III rocks on the eardrums like a ton of bricks. While the band's first album and ABRAXAS were widely celebrated at the time of their release, this masterful work steamrolled to #1 on Billboard for five consecutive weeks in 1971. At this point, the band is clearly more seasoned at arranging and making the studio experience work for them--the music is at once scorching, heavy, experimental, and disciplined. Indeed, the Santana band had already come a long way on its Latin rock-blues-R&B-funk journey, and yet this would be the final recording with the original Woodstock-era lineup, with guitar genius Carlos Santana and organist/singer Gregg Rolie at the core of the action. Every track is a "deep cut." "Batuka" and "Toussaint L'Overture" feature the kind of classic, wailing Santana guitar riffs that always inspire a few notches worth of volume increase on the stereo. The band's pulsating Afro-Latin rhythm section is in full force on these tunes as well, and makes real mincemeat of the uplifting favorite, "Everybody's Everything."
The record has extremely minimal light/faint surface marks/paper scuffs(barely noticeable hairline/superficial marks!). Both labels are clean and have the very faintest of spindle marks. It grades near mint condition.
The gatefold stickered sleeve has the very faintest of light edge wear with slightly more being near the bottom right corner. Extremely minimal light corner wear, otherwise crisp corners. Extremely minimal light ring wear/rubbing marks(barely noticeable). No splits. No tears. It grades excellent plus condition.
