Santana – Santana III – Vinyl LP

High Quality, Transparent, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve

Santana III is an album of ‘lasts’. It 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 Neal Schon (Journey) on guitar – who was a mere 17 of age when they recorded the album.

Santana III is viewed by many as the band’s commercial and creative highpoint. The band sounds darker, rawer, 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 and Chepito’s percussion are as fast as it is furious, and the minimal production adds greatly to the timeless appeal of this album.

Santana III is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl, housed in a deluxe heavyweight gatefold sleeve.
