Blues for Salvador Earned Carlos Santana His First Grammy Award: 1987 'Solo' Album Pursues Jazz, Fusion, and Rock Directions, Features Contributions from Tony Williams and Alphonso JohnsonSourced from the Original Master Tapes for Rich, Detailed Sound and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM Vinyl LP Presents the Largely Instrumental Record in Audiophile Quality for First Time DomesticallyFew artists were more prolific than Carlos Santana during the 1970s and 80s. By the time he released Blues for Salvador, the fourth album billed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a solo artist, he kept a pace that saw him release LPs at a more than one record per-year clip dating back to his group's 1969 debut. No wonder this 1987 effort would be Santana's last work until 1990; he deserved the rest. And with the largely instrumental Blues for Salvador, he entered into the break on a high note - one that earned him his first Grammy Award. Pursuing no agenda, this effort simply illustrates Santana's passion for playing and ability to let loose and have fun.Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g LP presents the diverse album in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic vinyl reissue. Part of the label's Santana series, this collectible version features quiet surfaces and black backgrounds that help expose the small details, wide range dynamics, and trademark tones crucial to Santana's sonic escapades.

Not to mention the playing of the other ace musicians on the 80s fusion-minded set. Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet alum Tony Williams (drums), former Weather Report member Alphonso Johnson (bass), Band of Gypsys mainstay Buddy Miles (vocals), and iconic sideman Orestes Vilato (flute, percussion) appear.1/2' 30 IPS Dolby SR Analog Master DSD 256 Analog Console LatheNumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl LPNUMBERED LIMITED EDITION OF 3,000Track ListSide One:1.
