This is a reissue of a rare title on a handmade label, made by collectors for collectors, that was previously only available to a select few.
While copies of almost everything are readily available these days, this is an authentic reissue from an officially licensed master.
Even the reissue label emblem and new back cover have been meticulously crafted.

This is a live recording from 2008 by Santana, who continues to perform live shows consistently to this day.
Santana has led more and more impressive bands every year, but this period featured notable musicians such as Chester Thompson, a keyboardist and organist who also played in Frank Zappa's Mothers, and jazz drummer Dennis Chambers.
Also noteworthy is the guest appearance of Robert Randolph, who was then garnering attention as a promising young slide guitarist!
However, I think the sound quality is a bit poor for amateurs.
