Santana Bridges the Divide Between Live and Studio Material on Moonflower: 1977 Double Album Features Extraordinary Performances, Soulful Vibes, and Dynamic Mix of Latin, Rock, Funk, and BluesSourced from the Original Master Tapes, Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Plays with Audiophile-Quality Detail and ImagingThough it may now seem strange, Moonflower stood for nearly 15 years as Santana's first and only live record released in the United States. This despite the fact that roughly half of the double album consists of new studio songs, including a zesty cover of the Zombies classic 'She's Not There' that reached the Top 30. However unconventional, the 'split' strategy went over like gangbusters. Moonflower reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and achieved double-platinum status - feats the group would not again replicate for 22 years. These, and the beautiful quality of the program itself, are among the reasons why the 1977 effort remains viewed by critics and fans alike as a must-have.Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, housed in a Stoughton jacket, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP set of Moonflower presents the record in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic reissue. The enhanced sonics extend not only to Carlos Santana's six-string wizardry, but to the rhythmic, melodic, and vocal elements coursing through both the studio and live cuts: the grip and depth of the bass lines; the wash of the organ; the scope and carry of the vocals; and much more. So whether you fall for the sidewinding spell of a spicy rendition of 'Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen,' lose your head to the momentum of 'Soul Sacrifice/Head, Hands & Feet,' or keep dropping the needle on the savory grace of the brilliant reading of 'Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile),' this pressing of Moonflower puts you in good hands.1/4' / 15 IPS ORIGINAL ANALOG NON-DOLBY MASTER DSD 256 ANALOG CONSOLE LATHENumbered 180g 33RPM 2LPLIMITED EDITION OF 3,000Track ListSide One:1.
