Santana - Santana (debut album) black vinyl
Santana's 1969 self-titled debut album, released by Columbia Records, introduced the band's unique blend of Latin rock and improvisation. Originally a jam band, they transitioned to more structured songwriting at their manager's suggestion, while maintaining their improvisational core.
The album's release was boosted by their Woodstock performance. While "Jingo," the first single, had moderate success, "Evil Ways" became a Top 10 hit. The album itself peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200, spending over two years on the chart, and also charted in the UK. Featuring artwork by Lee Conklin, the album was released in both stereo and quadraphonic formats.
