Converted from the original master of the quadraphonic version (4ch mix), which was not released in Japan at the time, to DSD, this high-quality surround mix offers an unprecedented sense of presence compared to the regular stereo version, and the CD layer is also a newly remastered version using an SA-CD stereo high-resolution master. The packaging is a meticulously resized 7-inch paper jacket version of the US quadraphonic LP, and includes reproductions of the original overseas promotional posters. A must-have collector's item for Santana fans worldwide!
