Japanese limited edition pressing includes 3 bonus tracks packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. By the time Santana arrived on the San Francisco scene in 1968, the Grateful Dead's freeform antics were already legendary. But Santana was a jam band of another order, fueled by Latin rhythms, blues, bebop, and straight-ahead rock. Having set the audience at the 1969 Woodstock festival on its collective ear, the band did the same for the nation with its self-titled debut. Songs such as 'Evil Ways', 'Jingo' and 'Soul Sacrifice' contain extraordinary ensemble playing, powered by percolating congas and timbales and topped by the grippingly human cry of Carlos Santana's guitar. CBS. 2006.
By the time Santana arrived on the San Francisco scene in 1968, the Grateful Dead's freeform antics were already legendary. But Santana was a jam band of another order — fueled by Latin rhythms, blues, bebop, and straight-ahead rock. Having set the audience at the 1969 Woodstock festival on its collective ear, the band did the same for the nation with its self-titled debut, released later that summer. Songs such as "Evil Ways," "Jingo," and "Soul Sacrifice" contain extraordinary ensemble playing, powered by percolating congas and timbales and topped by the grippingly human cry of Carlos Santana's guitar. The 1998 reissue of the album contains three bonus tracks recorded live at Woodstock: "Savor," "Soul Sacrifice," and "Fried Neckbones." — Daniel Durchholz

- A classic!
- Waiting - waiting to take off, goes nowhere.
Evil Woman - a classic, what Santana is known for.
Shades of Time - not a bad song, but not a favorite.
Savor - too much cowbells and organs, sounds like Deep Purple. Were they
using the same organs/keyboards?
Jingo - a classic.
Persuasion - a classic, one of my top 5 Santana… More reviews
- Just the beginning of the genius that is Santana
- I'm 51 years old and I grew up on Santana. I've listened to this band on 8 tracks, cassettes, reel to reel, and vinyl. I can't imagine what rock and roll or any part of popular music would be without Santana as a part of our musical spectrum. I agree, Abraxas is incredible, and "Everybody's Everything" from III is fantastic. But this disc is where is started. These rhythms lay… More reviews
- a perfect start to an amazingly highlighted long career
- Carlos Santana is probably in my top three favorite guitarists ever. The guy simply knows how to play a guitar solo where *every single sequence of notes* is absolutely spectacular. I just sit there on my chair and absorb every part of his guitar playing, and I sure hope I'm not the only one out there who does so. It's so easy to get… More reviews

- Changing Rock Music Forever
- In 1969 lots of things were being changed in rock music, you had Black Sabbath that were about to explode on the scene in 1970 that defined heavy metal and you also had Santana who combined latin music with rock and came up with something special, and there first album proves it. An essential album for anyone to own… More reviews
