AMG Review of Santana: The Collection - Santana/Abraxas/Santana III

Thom Jurek
All Music Guide

This three-CD set is simply a Legacy repackage of Santana's first three albums -- Santana, Abraxas, and Santana III in a rather ugly and generic slipcase. Bonus tracks from the album's previous CD reissues have been maintained here, fleshing out the originals. Fans already have this, but those who have suddenly become curious would benefit from putting these three discs in the collection.
