Although I own most of the Santana catalog, I still feel this is his shining moment. Greg Rollie's organ playing, percussion section and singing all mesh perfectly, and Santana and Neal Schon are great together. Wonderful mood changes blend a complex tapestry of Latin, pop, and Afro influences into a joyous romp. They do a great job on "Black Magic Woman", to the point where few folks realize that this is a Peter Green composition from early Fleetwood Mac days.
this is about the MoFi release, yeh yeh, the music's still great and always will be, but check out the cover.!!
too bad it's such a small image. its worth having the lp just to see the cover full size. the music and the art work suit each other, flowing mystical, erotic.you wanna know a good followup to abraxas? legend, by bob marley
