Santana’s self-titled debut album announces the arrival of a new Guitar God
Made during the legendary bandleader’s most fruitful and creative period, the classic 1969 set functions as an accessible entry point into the tangy worlds of Latin music by way of an intoxicating blend of Afro-Cuban percussion, jazzy tempos, exotic leads, bluesy riffs, and psychedelic accents
Indeed, separation between Carlos Santana’s fluid fills, spicy solos, and broiling grooves and pianist Gregg Rolie’s soulful Hammond organ runs allows the music to come alive with a newfound freshness and radiance
Songs simmer, with each passage bursting forth with vibrant color
Just like the equally essential follow-up Abraxas, Santana also lays claim to one of the biggest (and unfortunate) production gaffes in music history
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 Santana were included
Rest assured that, in addition to boasting reference audiophile sonics, this 180g 45RPM 2LP set gets all the specifications exactly right
And with a record of this magnitude, you want everything to be perfect
