Wow, ack I had no idea you were enough of a fan of this album to buy the one-step.
I've cleaned mine but haven't listened yet...
See the Santana thread; my favorite. I believe I have most of his albums, but I have to admit the latest Santanta IV is unlistenable - of the two discs, I was able to tolerate only one. This Abraxas is just a complete, total knock-out... you'll see, or hear. It reminds me of the analog Reference Recordings of yesteryear in vividness and you-are-there feeling. BTW, MusicDirect's latest print catalog features a picture of Santana on the cover - not gear!
I am looking forward to the Evans @Village Vanguard - if the XRCD is so realistic, I can only imagine what the LP will sound like.
