Limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on purple coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Santana's seventh studio album Amigos remains one of the most important records in their discography. David Rubinson was hired as producer to create a tighter, more up-tempo, and vocally focused hit record. The jazz influences of "Welcome" and "Borboletta" were replaced by a new sound with a stronger R&B and funk feel with Mexican folk influences. The album became one of their biggest successes, reaching the Top 10 in many countries. The single "Let It Shine" put Santana back in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)" became one of their most popular songs.
