Few artists were more prolific than Carlos Santana during the 1970s and 80s. By the time he released “Blues for Salvador”, the fourth album billed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a lone solo artist, he kept a pace that saw him release LPs at a more than one record-per-year clip since his group’s 1969 debut. No wonder this 1987 effort would be Santana’s last work until 1990; he deserved the rest. And with the largely instrumental “Blues for Salvador”, he entered into the break on a high note — one that earned him his first Grammy Award.
Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s 180g 33RPM LP of “Blues for Salvador” presents the diverse album in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic vinyl reissue. Part of the reissue label’s Santana series, this collectible version features quiet surfaces and black backgrounds that help expose the small details, wide-range dynamics, and trademark tones crucial to Santana’s sonic escapades.
