Santana – Moonflower (2 x Vinyl LP, 1977, Columbia C2 34914, Stereo, Pitman Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Moonflower combines Santana studio recordings with live performances captured during the band’s 1976 European tour. The double album includes “Black Magic Woman,” “Gypsy Queen,” “Europa,” “Soul Sacrifice,” and Santana’s version of the Zombies’ “She’s Not There.” Carlos Santana and keyboardist Tom Coster are central to a lineup combining Latin percussion, rock, and jazz-fusion elements.
