Amigos – Santana – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Amigos has been beloved for decades by both long-time and recent
Santana admirers, with multiple generations of fans drawn in by the
record’s contagious blend of R&B, Latin, rock, and funk elements.
Coming off a series of albums that leaned into jazz fusion, the band
returns to the more dynamic and concise approaches of its earlier
works without losing the sense of adventurousness, craftsmanship,
and virtuosity that turned it into a juggernaut embraced by both the
mainstream and experimentally minded communities. On the goldcertified
Amigos, which includes the hit “Let It Shine” and beloved
meditation “Europa (Earth’s Cry Heaven’s Smile),” the ensemble
never seems to run short of zest or happiness.
Mastered at MoFi’s California studio, pressed at Fidelity Record
Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile
Fidelity’s 180g 33RPM LP presents the 1976 album in audiophile
sound for the first time on a domestic release. Part of the reissue
label’s Santana series, this collectible version features quiet surfaces
and black backgrounds that help reveal the intricate details,
distinguished tones, and cohesive interplay that cause Santana’s
music to take flight. The solidity and depth of the bass lines; the
wash of the organ; the scope and carry of the vocals; the grip and
weight of the low-end frequencies; and, possibly the most enticing
traits, the textures of the acoustic guitars, numerous percussive
devices, and then-modern synthesizers: all come across with
tremendous presence and energy. Amigos? Si de hecho.
