Item Description
1 Item Set of SANTANA; by Carlos Santana; Cassette. Includes:
ITEM 1.) Carlo Santana; Santana; Columbia 16-10-0692;
Santana is the debut studio album by the San Franciscorock group Santana released in 1969. It is a release of largely instrumental music, recorded by what was originally a purely free-form jam band. At the suggestion of manager Bill Graham, the band took to writing more conventional songs for more impact, but managed to retain the essence of improvisation in the music. The album was destined to be a major release, given a headstart by the band's seminal performance at the Woodstock Festival earlier that Aug. Although "Jingo" failed to create much interest when released as a single, "Evil Ways", the 2nd single taken from the album, was a U. S. Top 10 hit. The album was the 1st of Santana's two self-titled albums, the other being their 3rd album in 1971. The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 pop album chart. In 2003, the album was ranked number 150 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album was awarded 4 & a half stars by Allmusic, by stating: "Carlos Santana was originally in his own wing of the Latin Rock hall of fame, neither playing Afro-Cuban with rock guitar, as did Malo, nor flavouring mainstream rock with Percussion, as did Chicago." The album peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 & number 26 on the UK Albums Chart.

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Santana is a rock band based around guitarist Carlos Santana & founded in the late 1960s. It 1st came to public attention after their performing the song "Soul Sacrifice" at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, when their Latin rock provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This initial exposure made their 1st, eponymous album a hit at the time, followed in the next two years by successful follow-ups Abraxas & Santana III. Over the next few years, lineup changes were common & frequent, & although retaining a basis of Latin rock, Carlos Santana's increasing involvement with guru Sri Chinmoy took the band further into more esoteric music, which continued for many years, although never quite losing the initial Latin influence. In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Areas, David Brown, Mike Carabello, Gregg Rolie & Michael Shrieve being honored. Santana has achieved a total of eight Grammy Awards & three Latin Grammy Awards which were all awarded in 2000. Carlos also won two Grammy Awards as a solo artist in 1989 & 2003. The band was formed in 1967 in San Francisco as the Carlos Santana Blues Band with the help of Tom Fraser. The 1st established members were Carlos Santana (lead guitar), Mike Carabello (percussion), Rod Harper (drums), David Brown (bass guitar) & Gregg Rolie (lead vocals, Hammond Organ B3). The group's 1st audition with this line up was at the Avalon Ball Room in the late summer of 1967. After the audition, Chet Helms the promoter, in concert with The Family Dogg, told the band that they would never make it in the San Francisco Music Scene playing Latin fusion & suggested Carlos keep his day job washing dishes at Tick Tock's Drive-In on 3rd St. The band was announced as one of the performers at the Woodstock Festival. Santana started recording their 1969 debut album in May 1969 & finished it in a month. Santana would perform at the festival with a huge crowd. Later that month, they released their debut album which peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard 200 pop chart with the single "Evil Ways" being a top 10 single in the US. Santana went on tour to promote the album & started work on their next album, Abraxas. Work started on the album in mid-April 1970 & was done in early-May 1970. The album was released in Sept. 1970 & would peak at number 1 on the US Billboard 200 & the Australian Kent Road Report. The album also featured the hit single "Black Magic Woman", which peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. From Jan. to July 1971, Santana would work on another album. The album was called Santana III. Released in Sept. 1971, the album would be another number 1 on the US Billboard 200 & would become the band's peak popularity. This was the last album to feature the classic Woodstock era line-up of Santana. Before recording their 4th album Caravanserai, there had been multiple line-up changes. Bassist David Brown left in 1971 before recording started & was replaced by Doug Rauch & Tom Rutley. Percussionist Michael Carabello left Santana & was replaced by Armando Peraza. Keyboardist/vocalist Gregg Rolie was replaced by Tom Coster on a few songs. Caravanserai was released on 11 October 1972 & peaked at number 8 on the US Billboard 200 pop chart without a hit single.";
