🦁 Santana is the debut studio album by American Latin rock band Santana. It was released on August 30, 1969. * * * I personally like the B-Sides of this album the most. Particularly the song “Treat” I just love the Latin piano sound. * * * * * Over half of the album's length is composed of instrumental music, recorded by what was originally a purely free-form jam band. * * * * The album was destined to be a major release, given a boost by the band's performance at the Woodstock Festival earlier that August. ✌🏻 * * * * The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 pop album chart and #26 on the UK Albums Chart. It has been mixed and released in both stereo and quadraphonic. The album cover was made by Lee Conklin. * * * * A retrospective Rolling Stone review was more enthusiastic, finding Santana "thrilling ... with ambition, soul and absolute conviction - every moment played straight from the heart". In 2003, the magazine ranked Santana number 150 on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, moving up to 149 in a 2012 revised list. Colin Larkin deemed it an excellent example of Latin rock in his Encyclopedia of Popular Music. * * * * #vinylettes #mysoundofvinyl #vinylcover #myvinylcollection #recordoftheday #vinylforever #vinyllife #vinyldigger #positivemusic #vinylgeek #vinyladdiction #vinylmusic #vinyllp #vinylmania #vinyllovers #vinylalbum https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2SsVIpK2H/?igshid=hmqcokr8lly0
