Absolutely beautiful original 1970 Pitman pressing of Santana's classic Abraxas LP on Columbia KC-30130. True first pressing with thicker vinyl and way better sound than on later pressings. This copy is just gorgeous. The disc is almost perfectly mint and plays flawlessly and just beautifully. There is a little mark on the first track of side one but it doesn't affect the play at all. I just can't call it NM because of that... otherwise it would definitely be NM. It plays NM. Truly a beautiful listen. The cover is also unusually clean, with only light ringwear on the back, and light edgewear, mainly on the spine where it bends to open and close the gatefold. The original "Inner Sleeve" is included, dated 1970. This is a top original copy, very hard to beat.
