＜Santana 50th Anniversary 8th Release＞ The hidden masterpiece from 1974, “Borboletta – SA-CD Multi Hybrid Edition” featuring the ultra-rare “4ch Surround Mix” will be released on November 6th!
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Santana's 6th album "Borboletta" (1974), the SA-CD multi-hybrid version will be released for the first time in the world on Wednesday, November 6th. This is the 8th release in Santana's 50th Anniversary Series, which started in 2020 as a Japan-only project.
This album follows the same flow as the previous album "Welcome," which was the first work by the New Santana Band that appeared at their first performance in Japan in 1973, but it features the return of David Brown, the bassist of the original Santana Band, Leon Patillo, who replaced Leon Thomas on vocals, and guest appearances by Stanley Clarke (B), Flora Purim (Perc & Vo), and Airto Moreira (Perc & Dr) from the first Return to Forever, making it a powerful and diverse album. Since the masterpiece "Caravanserai" in 1972, Carlos Santana's noble spirituality and Latin dynamism are smoothly fused, and the album includes fusion instrumentals with a fantastical mood as well as high-quality pop vocal numbers. The album's high level of perfection, including Carlos Santana's sensual guitar, which resonates superbly smoothly, and the bewitching charm emanating from Jules Broussard's saxophone, has made it one of Santana's best "hidden masterpieces," and it has received extremely high praise from fans.
At the time of its release, this work was available in both stereo and 4ch surround mix quadraphonic versions (not released in Japan), but it has never been reissued to this day. This edition, which will be the first in the world to be revived as an SA-CD, has been DSD mastered at Sony Music Studios in Japan from the original 4ch quadraphonic mix master, just like the previous series, so not only can you hear the phrasing and nuances of each instrument's playing with the utmost clarity, but the high quality surround mix also allows you to experience a superb soundscape full of realism. In addition, the SA-CD stereo mix has been newly mastered from the original 2ch mix master, and the CD layer is a newly remastered version in which the SA-CD stereo master has been converted to PCM. The package is a 7-inch paper jacket that has been carefully resized from the US quadraphonic LP, and includes a reproduction of the Japanese single jacket of "Give and Take," which features an eye-catching illustration of Carlos Santana by Masamichi Oikawa, as well as two original overseas advertising mini posters.
