Santana Moves Toward the Rock Mainstream: Inner Secrets Features Three Top 100 Singles, Passionate Performances, and Tightened-Up FrameworksSourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP Exposes Critical Details and Tones That Make the 1978 Album SoarCarlos Santana refused to sit still or commit to one style during his fantastically adventurous stretch in the 1970s. He and his group's penchant for exploration and mutation - and adopting those constructs into appealing songs that surprise, delight, and inspire - flares throughout Inner Secrets, a gold-certified effort that finds the collective reaching creative heights it would not again realize for another 10 years. Home to three Top 100 singles, Inner Secrets marks another turning point in Santana's evolution. Evidence of that transformation arrives in the form of four inspired covers, including renditions of Buddy Holly's 'Well All Right,' Four Tops' 'One Chain (Don't Make No Prison),' and Traffic's 'Dealer' - with the latter tune soldered into 'Spanish Rose.' Santana's focused approach is also reflected in the structures of the songs. No track lasts longer than six minutes and 15 seconds. Yet the band packs an array of contagious melodies, complex passages, and passionate performances into the tightened-up frameworks.Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g LP of Inner Secrets presents the 1978 album in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic reissue. This collectible version features quiet surfaces and black backgrounds that help expose the critical details, dynamics, and tones that allow Santana's music to soar. As for Carlos Santana's signature guitar voicing, spicy leads, and acrobatic solos? Hear them with newfound definition and enhanced clarity - all the better to appreciate the dexterity, vision, and soulfulness on display on a record that stands as the bookend to the group's peak era.1/4' 15 IPS Analog Master DSD 256 Analog Console LatheNumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl LPNUMBERED LIMITED EDITION OF 3,000Track ListSide One:1.
