Santana is fabulous and it's one of our favorites - a must have for Santana fans. This was a gift for my stepson and he plays it often.
Everyone should listen to "Put Your Lights On". Awesome disk with good variety of tracks/guest artists. Santana is truly a multi-dimensional warrior.
I called Amazon right away, but they told me that they couldn't help me because that item had not yet shipped - yet I was holding it in my hand. The Santana CD is great. Bad, bad Amazon. It's such a pain to buy something, have to wait for it, receive it and it be broken and have to send it back yourself - but I couldn't even send it back because as far as Amazon was concerned, they hadn't yet shipped it. However, Amazon needs to do something about their shipping methods and how they handle it when there's an issue pertaining to it. I received the CD early, but the case had been completely crushed - COMPLETELY.
If you like the popular hit songs, buy the first self-titled album, Abraxas, Moonflower and Zebop. You're better off buying a few well-chosen Santana albums based on your musical preference. If you like the more ambitious instrumental stuff, pick up Caravanserai, Welcome, Love, Devotion and Surrender and the live album Lotus, all from the '70s, arguably Carlos' most creative period. Just what we need. Another essential, ultimate, best of Santana album featuring, you guessed it, Black Magic Woman and Evil Ways.
All the selections are very good especially the alternate version of the song, "The Game of Love" by Tina Turner which is really special.
