Santana III is an album full of significant 'lasts' and 'firsts'. It was the final album recorded with the original Woodstock - lineup and didn't see another #1 hit on the Billboard charts until 1999's Supernatural. On the other hand, it features some important debuts. Coke Escovedo makes his first appearance on percussion, and Neal Schon (from Journey) plays guitar for the first time, being only 17 when the album was recorded. This album comes as a limited edition of 1500 individually - numbered copies on translucent yellow vinyl, housed in a deluxe heavy - weight gatefold sleeve.
To use this Santana III vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable. Make sure the turntable is clean and properly set up. Gently lower the needle onto the record to start playing the music. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface, which can cause scratches and affect the sound quality. After use, put the vinyl back in its deluxe heavy - weight gatefold sleeve. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. Regularly clean the vinyl with a proper record cleaning brush to keep it in good condition and enjoy the music for a long time.
