| | Description: | Abraxas remains the consummate Latin rock album. The confident
sound of Santana stretching out and carving out new musical
territory, the 1970 effort pulses with psychedelic accents and Afro-
Latin grooves. Selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in
its National Recording Registry, Abraxas reimagines whatâ??s possible
in melding various disciplines and styles. Mysticism and spirituality
abound amid performances featuring a thrilling assembly of purring
organs, conga beats, and fluid bass lines. And that says nothing of
the bandleaderâ??s extraordinary guitar playing. More than five million
copies and countless accolades later, Abraxas is legend.
Sourced from the original analog tapes, housed in a Stoughton
gatefold jacket, and improving upon the labelâ??s acclaimed out-of-
print 180g LP pressing, Mobile Fidelityâ??s numbered-edition 180g
SuperVinyl LP teems with information, clarity, textures, and colors.
The result: Spacious, airy, and you-are-there sonics that benefit
from the characteristics of MoFi SuperVinyl: an ultra-low noise floor,
superior groove definition, and dead-quiet surfaces. This collectible
version captures the full tonal range of Santanaâ??s guitar and
nuances of his distinctive touch. Passages and notes are brought
to the fore and properly scaled. For nearly four decades, copies of
Abraxas were produced with the left and right channels reversed.
Rest assured that in addition to showcasing reach-out-and-touch-it
sound, this SuperVinyl copy gets all the specifications right. - 180GAbraxas Remains the Consummate Latin Rock Record: Sophomore Santana Effort Includes 'Black Magic Woman,' Ranks #334 on Rolling Stone's List of the Greatest Albums of All TimeSourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes for Exceptional Sound: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP Plays with Remarkable Clarity, Depth, Detail, and PresenceAbraxas remains the consummate Latin rock album. The confident sound of Santana stretching out and carving out new musical territory, the band's 1970 effort pulses with psychedelic accents and Afro-Latin grooves. Ranked on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in it's National Recording Registry, Abraxas immediately captured the public's ear, spending six weeks at the No. 1 spot and sending the band's cosmic cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Black Magic Woman' into the Top 5.

This collectible version captures the full tonal range of Santana's guitar and nuances of his distinctive touch. Passages and notes are brought to the forefront and properly scaled, enhancing your emotional connection to this iconic record.Filled with celebratory vibes, bluesy jams, mellow vocals, and hip-shaking grooves, Abraxas picks up on the momentum of Santana's self-titled 1969 debut. Drifting into more versatile territory, Santana reimagines what's possible in melding various disciplines and styles. Mysticism and spirituality abound amid performances featuring a thrilling assembly of purring organs, conga beats, and fluid bass lines. And that says nothing of the bandleader's extraordinary guitar playing.Wild, free, and loose, the group conjures the feeling of mountains and rivers on the opening instrumental 'Singing Winds, Crying Beasts,' leads a salsa parade on a definitive version of Tito Puente's 'Oye Como Va,' and explores it's sensual side on 'Samba Pa Ti,' a track indicative of the album's Latin vibes and percussion. Sonically, Abraxas takes advantage of then-advanced studio techniques such as cross-fading and state-of-the-art mixing. As The Mojo Collection explains: 'Dissatisfied with the sound of their debut, the group brought in as a co-producer veteran jazz engineer Fred Catero, whose skills proved invaluable in balancing the new range of musical flavors Santana [was] bringing into it's sound: the result was a giant step on from [the band's] debut.'Like the group's debut, Abraxas long laid claim to one of the biggest production gaffes in music history. Until Mobile Fidelity corrected the error with it's 2008 LP and gold CD reissues, Abraxas had never been heard correctly. For nearly four decades, copies were produced with the left and right channels reversed. So, in addition to showcasing reach-out-and-touch it sound, this SuperVinyl edition gets all the specifications right.1/4' / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 64 to analog console to latheNumbered 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LPNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack ListSide One:1.
