MINT! Original 1970 first pressing with large poster ...a fantastic copy ...  still in original factory shrink wrapper... with HUGE SANTANA POSTER

.... Original 1970 first pressing in THICK gatefold ... the second great Santana Lp, issued soon after their amazing performance at Woodstock

Featuring the great hits "Black Magic Woman", "Hope You're Feeling Better" and "Oye Como Va" and includes the giant SANTANA poster ...

Excellent continuation of the first album, with songwriting credits to four of the six band members, plus a terrific version of Tito Puentes's "Oye Como Va." The hit was a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "Black Magic Woman."

Santana were the pioneers of the trance-like Latin-infused psychrock sounds which meshed nicely with the hippie-rock bands in San Francisco. Their polyrhythmic stew combined with Carlos Santana's intense Bolero-like guitar soloing made them heroes to the progressives of every race in the late sixties and early seventies. Abraxas, their second album, was where they really came into their own -- the percussive forays, hypnotic guitar, and Latin rhythms inaugurated on their debut were driven to new heights by an expanded rhythm section and more focused songwriting. Santana, who were an oddity in 1969, became popular with Abraxas and brought the simmering sounds of the Latin ghetto into the mainstream. But along with it, they also carried hints of very professional-styled white rock, mostly courtesy of keyboardist Greg Rolie, who wrote the more conventional rock ballads like "Mother's Daughter" and "Hope You're Feeling Better." This gave Santana the proper mix of ethnic influences to be successful on virtually every level -- both as a pop-rock success and as progressive innovators.
