Best sounding Santana debut and 3rd album


I'm planning to add these to my cd collection and of course there are reissues/remasters out there. Can anybody recommend an issue that has better audio quality over the others?

Jim, Flora Purim sings on a number of tracks on "Welcome". There may be others too.
You might try the Japanese Blu-spec Sony releases. I have the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Santana CDs and they sound pretty good.

There is also an Audio Fidelity gold version (relatively recent) of the 1st CD but I have not heard it (may be out of print, not sure).

But most audiophile versions have been Abraxas, which I have owned or heard.
Sounds_real_audio, this is probably it, with Michelle Branch.

I don't think so. I am a Platinum subscriber and have all the Audio Fidelity Golds.

Yeah for the money the 24bit Sony/Legacy remasters are damn good. I have the first three and I'm happy with the sound quality.
The song your talking about is The Game of Love with Michelle Branch.
