Santana – Abraxas (Mobile Fidelity 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP)
The consummate Latin rock album, Santana’s Abraxas (1970) blends psychedelic flourishes, Afro-Latin grooves, and bluesy jams into a landmark recording. Ranked on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and preserved in the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry, the record spent six weeks at No. 1 and delivered enduring classics like “Black Magic Woman,” “Oye Como Va,” and “Samba Pa Ti.”
Sourced from the original analog tapes and pressed on Mobile Fidelity’s SuperVinyl, this numbered-edition 180g LP offers extraordinary clarity, warmth, and dynamics with an ultra-low noise floor. Fred Catero’s studio mastery and the band’s exploratory spirit shine through with proper channel orientation restored—correcting a decades-long production error.
Housed in a deluxe Stoughton gatefold, this definitive reissue captures Santana’s fluid guitar tone, pulsing percussion, and the celebratory mysticism that cemented Abraxas as one of rock’s most enduring statements.
