Santana: Santana III (180g) (+ 4 Bonustracks) (remastered) on 2 LPs

Product Information

"Santana lll" ls an album of lasts. lt 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 Neaf 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.
