I am psyched but I am seriously not a big fan of all the swag raising the price. A regular SACD package would be fine for me. This will find a place on top of one of my bookshelves. I just want the music sounding fantastic in Quad!
 
Mine arrived!

This is a great best-selling album that has been described as a masterpiece throughout Santana's career, and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. The single-cut Fleetwood Mac cover "Black Magic Woman" was known as the song that ignited Santana's popularity in Japan as well as hitting No. 4 on the US single chart, "Santana = It became one of the most symbolic songs of "Latin Rock".
In addition, "Listen to my rhythm" by Tito Puente, a Latin Latin tycoon (original title: Oye Como Va), and the beautiful guitar instrumental ballad "Samba Pa Ti" (original title: Samba). Early representative songs such as Pa Ti) are recorded. Two years after the release of this original stereo board, the 4ch surround mix = quadraphonic board appeared in 1972. At that time, the Japanese version was also released, but after the transition to the CD in the 1980s, it was the only one released overseas in the DTS format (currently discontinued) in the early '00s, and the multi-channel version of the SA-CD was released.

Both SA-CD 2ch and CD layer are the latest remastered discs from the original 2ch mix master sound source, but the biggest listening point is SA-CD 4ch. Carlos Santana's guitar and Gregg Rolie's keyboard circulate around the four speakers, and various rhythm instruments sound lively from all directions so as to surround the listener, which is a different dimension from the stereo mix. You can enjoy the soundscape of.
Furthermore, the fact that the other take that does not exist in the stereo mix and the vivid shout of the members remaining on the master tape are adopted as they are in some places makes us feel the rarity of this quadraphonic mix.
