Noisy Pressing

Posted Sunday, May 29, 2016 by audiofan The music itself here is fantastic - none of the commercial crap C.S. has resorted to in recent years - this truely is the sound of vintage Santana, and the songwriting, performances, mixing, and sound are 5-star. Sadly, the vinyl isn't. I have now purchased two seperate copies of this LP, both the colored "limited-edition" as well as the black vinyl, and both suffer (especially on sides three & four) with groove noise in the form of a "crackling" noise in the exact same places on both copies! This is an album to own, but not, unfortunately, on this current pressing. Maybe others will get "lucky", but after two attempts, I would advise the CD.
