BEAUTIFUL 1971 ORIGINAL
+ SANTANA STICKER
SANTANA
Third Album
USA - Columbia Records ...PC 30595
BEAUTIFUL TOP MINTY 1971 original first pressing in nice THICK gatefold cover....has still the cool round SANTANA sticker on front cover that was originally on the outside of the cellophane wrapper of first pressings...
A summoning of the same spirits as Abraxas, and thus the ritual remains much the same.
The opening “Batuka” begins the rite, tuning the listener’s consciousness in time for “No One To Depend On,” a chant for the disenchanted that remains the album’s most recognizable track. These two songs reflect Abraxas, and it’s fair to say that their third album employs familiar pieces with only a slight shifting of order. Gregg Rolie’s “Taboo” is a predictable Crimson/Cream confection, while “Toussaint l’Overture” is one of those Latin cum jazz workouts unique to Santana. Side two throws a small wrench into the works with a R&B song, “Everybody’s Everything,” that became the album’s big hit at the time. It’s an interesting avenue, an example of the wide range of music that Santana could lay cultural claim to, and yet it may be the most “infectious” of all the songs on here. What has travelled remarkably well is the humble and heartwarming “Everything’s Coming Our Way,” a dusty diamond deserving of Eric Clapton that lands a knockout by first getting us to lower our defenses. Around these “pop” songs are the usual orgies of percussion and vocals (the coolly delivered “Guajira,” “Para los Rumberos”) and the aptly titled fusion number “Jungle Strut” delivering wicked Carlos guitar leads. Though their third album breaks little new ground, it needn’t have. Santana’s fusion of influences is so unique that it could (and did) provide a fertile breeding ground for years to come. The addition of guitarist Neal Schon and the vital participation of Coke Escovedo expanded Santana’s ranks, but the band had obviously elected to retrace the steps of the original magic journey rather than set off for new lands. Santana’s first three albums could be viewed as the penultimate trinity of Pan-American fusion from the Seventies, each a replication of the original rite that called forth the old gods to join the new. Santana 3 (as this was later called, to clear up confusion with their first album) travels over cherished, familiar ground; its magic lies in remembrance as much as discovery.
