Santana Santana MFSL Numbered Limited Edition 180 GRAM LP
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 149/500!
Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-Speed Mastered!
Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the March 2008 Issue of Stereophile!
This is Santana's first record on Numbered Limited Edition 180g Vinyl from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs.
Originally released the same month as their incendiary set at Woodstock, this impressive debut for Columbia kick-started a Hall of Fame legacy that lasts still today. Establishing one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock; Carlos’ signature tone and phrasing coupled with Afro-Cuban percussion virtually launched Latin-Rock fusion. Both AM and FM airwaves were scorched in the ensuing months with their charted singles Evil Ways (#9) and Jingo (#93) plus Soul Sacrifice, a favorite after it’s featured spot in the Woodstock movie and soundtrack.
"Mobile Fidelity has done an excellent job with its remastered vinyl editions. Santana was never great-sounding-it's a bit murky in the lower midrange, with relatively hard left-right instrumental placement-but this pressing brings a newfound clarity and dynamic life to it." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, March 2008, Issue 180
"The first two times Santana tried to record their debut, they scrapped the tapes. But the third time, they came up with Santana, which combined Latin rhythms with jazz-inspired improvisation, hard-rock guitar and lyrical, B.B. King-style blues — and even had a hit single, "Evil Ways." Back then, a lot of Carlos Santana's guitar playing was fueled by psychedelic drugs. "I don't recommend it to anybody and everybody," Santana told Rolling Stone in 2000. "Yet for me, I feel it did wonders. It made me aware of splendor and rapture." For millions of people, Santana did the same thing." - rollingstone

Santana's Abraxas is now on Numbered Limited Edition 180g Vinyl from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs!
This MFSL remaster corrects Historic Production Error! Music is NOW presented in Correct Channels for the First Time Ever! Widely Hailed as Santana’s Masterpiece!
Picking up on the momentum of the band’s excellent 1969 self-titled debut and drifting into edgier, more versatile territory, Abraxas is the confident sound of Santanastretching out and carving its own Latin rock subgenre. The 1970 set immediately captured the public’s ear, spending six weeks as the nation’s #1 album and spawning the cosmic “Black Magic Woman” as a Top 5 single that’s since become one of the most widely recognized songs in history. A confluence of celebratory vibes, bluesy jams, mellow vocals, and hip-shaking grooves, Abraxas is a cornerstone of any music collection and nothing short of legendary.
Mysticism and spirituality abound. Wild, free, and loose, Santana conjures the feeling of mountains and rivers on the lead-off instrumental “Singing Winds, Crying Beasts,” leads a salsa parade on the definitive version of Tito Puente’s “Oye Como Va,” and explores its sensual side on the stellar showcase “Samba Pa Ti,” a tune indicative of the album’s Latin vibes and percussion. Sonically, Abraxas takes advantage of studio techniques such as cross-fading and mixing lacking on its predecessor.
“Dissatisfied with the sound of their debut, the group brought in as a co-producer veteran jazz engineer Fred Catero, whose skills proved invaluable in balancing the new range of musical flavors Santana [was] bringing into its sound: the result was a giant step on from [the band’s] debut.” –The Mojo Collection book on the Greatest Albums of All Time
But just like 1969’s equally essential Santana, also available on an exquisite-sounding pressing from Mobile Fidelity, Abraxas lays claim to one of the biggest (and unfortunate) production gaffes in music history. Until now, Abraxas has never been heard correctly. After securing the original analog master tapes, Mobile Fidelity engineers realized a colossal mistake had been made. For nearly four decades, copies were produced with the left and right channels reversed, meaning that everything was placed in a backwards manner. This even extended to compilations on which individual songs from Abraxas were included.
Now, for the first time, you can listen to Abraxas the way it was meant to be experienced, with the instruments and musicians placed in the proper channels. THE SOUND WILL KNOCK YOU OUT. In addition to correcting the imaging, Mobile Fidelity’s collectable version captures the stunning tonal range of Santana’s guitar as well as the nuances of his distinctive touch. Every imaginable detail is brought to the forefront and properly scaled, be it Gregg Rolie’s purring organ, Jose Areas’ timbal and conga beats, or the fluid pulse of Dave Brown’s bass. YOU’VE NEVER HEARD SANTANA SOUND MORE SPACIOUS, AIRY, TEXTURED, OR DYNAMIC.
"Mobile Fidelity has done an excellent job with its remastered vinyl editions. Abraxas is a very fine-sounding record, with terrific air, rich textures, a fine mix, and spacious soundscape. MoFi's version is palpably warmer, airier, and more dynamic than (the) old Columbia pressing, which sounds a bit wiry." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, March 2008, Issue 180
"Black Magic Woman," the Top Five hit from Abraxas, is definitive Santana: Afro-Latin grooves and piercing lyrical psychedelic blues guitar. It was a cover of a Fleetwood Mac song written by one of Carlos Santana's guitar heroes, Peter Green. The album's other hit was also a cover: Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va." -rollingstone

SANTANA III - THE OUT OF PRINT 180 Gram Double LP! Includes 4 Bonus Tracks Previously Not On Vinyl! ! This specific title when shipped from Europe received about a one inch seam split on the top of the jacket underneath the sealed item. Other then that the item is pristine never opened sealed condition.
Santana III is an album of lasts. It was the last album recorded with the original Woodstock-line up and the last to hit #1 in the Billboard charts until 1999's Supernatural. But there are also a number of important firsts on this album; Coke Escovedo joins in for the first time on percussion, as does Neal Schon (Journey) - a mere seventeen when they recorded the album - on guitar.
Santana III is seen by many as the band's commercial and creative highpoint. The band sounds darker, more raw, and more eager with the doubling up on guitar of Schon's rock'n'roll sensibilities and Santana's ecstatic high notes and soulful fills. Escovedo's and Chepito's percussion is as fast as it is furious, and the minimal production adds greatly to the timeless appeal of this album.
For this double LP 180 gram audiophile edition Music On Vinyl have added four bonus tracks that were originally recorded in the same time period as Santanta III but have never appeared on vinyl before. They add an extra drive to an already compelling album, that extra spark to the powder keg that is the explosive Santana!
"Basically, they demonstrate to what incredible transports of ecstasy one can be taken by complex, insinuating rhythms, especially when they are played against one another not only in their patterns but also in the timbres of the sounds and the ranges wherein they are played... this band, which is really a city band bringing us the hot pavement and the cool nights as well as the rumble and the roar of the city, is solidly linked back to the hill country, the savannahs and the inland plains music of Africa and Cuba and the other sources of that magic rhythmic power of which they are such compelling examples." - Rolling Stone

Santana Santana IV 180g 2LP
180g Vinyl Double LP with Embossed Gatefold Jacket!
Original Santana Lineup Together For First Time Since 1973!
For the first time since 1973, the original Santana lineup reunites for Santana IV!
The wildly anticipated studio album, Santana IV, reunites the revered early '70s lineup of guitar icon Carlos Santana (guitar, vocals), Gregg Rolie (keyboards, lead vocals), Neal Schon (guitar, vocals), Michael Carabello (percussion) and Michael Shrieve (drums). The album signifies the first time in 45 years — since 1971’s multi-platinum classic Santana III — that the quintet has recorded together.
Santana IV features 16 all-new tracks written and produced by the band that burst with the same unparalleled energy and superlative musicianship that made Santana a pioneering force in world music and a household name across the globe. Joining the core Santana IV band in the studio are current Santana members Karl Perazzo (percussion) and Benny Rietveld (bass), with the legendary vocalist Ronald Isley guesting on two cuts.
The origins for the reunion go back several years, when Schon suggested that he and Carlos Santana record together. Santana liked the idea but went one better, proposing that they recruit Rolie, Shrieve and Carabello for what would be called Santana IV. After initial writing sessions and rehearsals took place in 2013, the group recorded throughout 2014 and 2015, amassing 16 spellbinding tracks that combined all their signature elements — Afro-Latin rhythms, soaring vocals, electrifying blues-psychedelic guitar solos, and irrepressibly jubilant percussion work — with widescreen hooks and melodies that will lodge themselves in the thicket of listeners’ senses and stay there.
