Description

Numbered Limited Edition Hybrid SACD from Mobile Fidelity
Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Reference Audiophile Sound
Breakthrough Record Remains Consummate Latin Rock Record: Experience This Classic the Way the Artist Intended

Abraxas immediately captured the public s ear, spending six weeks as the nation s #1 album and spawning the cosmic Black Magic Woman as a Top 5 single that s since become one of the most widely recognized songs in history. Mobile Fidelity s Hybrid SACD of this epic work presents the music in stunningly rich, incredibly dynamic and realistic sound.

Abraxas lays claim to one of the biggest (and unfortunate) production gaffes in music history. Until Mobile Fidelity fixed the error, Abraxas had never been heard correctly. For nearly four decades, copies were produced with the left and right channels reversed, meaning that everything was placed in a backwards manner. Rest assured that, in addition to boasting reference audiophile sonics, this Hybrid SACD edition gets all the specifications exactly right.

Mobile Fidelity s collectable version captures the full tonal range of Santana s guitar and nuances of his distinctive touch. Every imaginable detail is brought to the forefront and properly scaled, bringing you closer to the music and enhancing your emotional connection to this legendary record.

Sonically, Abraxas takes advantage of studio techniques such as cross-fading and mixing lacking on its predecessor.
