Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY double album ( released in the mid 1970’s ) of Santana, coming with rare original obi. This double album includes 20 tracks ( See the track-list below ). A booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover, showing “Japanese description”, “English lyrics” & “Photos of Santana”. Though the insert is not included, it’s not certain if it was originally issued for this item. It's hard to find this item in any condition even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
