Just bought Santana S/T 1st LP & Abraxas from some record stores in Toledo Ohio after attending a local record show. Have not played them yet ... excellent looking condition copies.Liked the first two ... played them on Spotify ...
Played Santana III & Caravanserai as well but did not like them as much as the first two. They had an excellent condition copy of Santana III at the record show but I took a pass on it. Did not run across any copies of I & Abraxas at the record show.
I see copies of Abraxas at record stores ... but they are usually not in very good condition and always missing the Poster. Recent copy I bought has the Poster.

I still have my original Columbias in decent shape.
Opus 33 1/3
I picked up a NM 2-eyed Columbia of S/T and the sound is excellent to my ears. It has a very live sound like the just walked in and cut the album. I don't know how they actually recorded it, but that is what it sounds like to me. It is one of my favorite records.

I prefer the earlier MOFI of Abraxas to the later one. I own both.
Two of my favorite Santana's are
Viva Santana
and Guitar both are great just differant styles. Viva so much great percussion and Guitar the blend of all guitar solo's is great but got to be ready for it.
My mistake Viva Santana yes, but Guitar was Zappa duh. Just a mistake but two differant worlds of music.
