In stock on July 12, 2019. Of course I love the Abraxas album. I've listening to it since it was first released decades ago as vinyl. Now it is easier to listen to digital on my cell phone so I bought Abraxas again. This is the quintessential Santana album. Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase.

Notes
"We stood before it and began to freeze inside from the exertion. We questioned the painting, berated to it, made love to it, prayed to it: We called it mother, called it whore and slut, called it our beloved, called it Abraxas…" ― Excerpt from 'Demian' by Hermann Hesse (Harper & Row).
24 bit digital re-master. Originally released in 1970.
