PRODUCT DETAILS
Santana Bridges the Divide Between Live and Studio Material on Moonflower: 1977 Double Album Features Extraordinary Performances, Soulful Vibes, and Dynamic Mix of Latin, Rock, Funk, and BluesSourced from the Original Master Tapes, Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Plays with Audiophile-Quality Detail and ImagingThough it may now seem strange, Moonflower stood for nearly 15 years as Santana's first and only live record released in the United States. This despite the fact that roughly half of the double album consists of new studio songs, including a zesty cover of the Zombies classic 'She's Not There' that reached the Top 30. However unconventional, the 'split' strategy went over like gangbusters. Moonflower reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and achieved double-platinum status - feats the group would not again replicate for 22 years. These, and the beautiful quality of the program itself, are among the reasons why the 1977 effort remains viewed by critics and fans alike as a must-have.Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, housed in a Stoughton jacket, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP set of Moonflower presents the record in audiophile sound for the first time on a domestic reissue. The enhanced sonics extend not only to Carlos Santana's six-string wizardry, but to the rhythmic, melodic, and vocal elements coursing through both the studio and live cuts: the grip and depth of the bass lines; the wash of the organ; the scope and carry of the vocals; and much more. So whether you fall for the sidewinding spell of a spicy rendition of 'Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen,' lose your head to the momentum of 'Soul Sacrifice/Head, Hands & Feet,' or keep dropping the needle on the savory grace of the brilliant reading of 'Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile),' this pressing of Moonflower puts you in good hands.1/4' / 15 IPS ORIGINAL ANALOG NON-DOLBY MASTER DSD 256 ANALOG CONSOLE LATHENumbered 180g 33RPM 2LPLIMITED EDITION OF 3,000Track ListSide One:1.

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
