Back in the 90s, i was walking Buenos Aires and found out two different versions of this album with different covers, they were manufactured in germany and denmark or something like that. Thats when I said, I want to play like this guy in as the years go passing by. I didnt succeed, but Im stil trying, haha. My favorite Santana record ever, fond memories of it.

@joseesquivel4020
I think I had this CD in the late 80s (different artwork). 1968. Original band.
@Grithron2
Here we have the dreaded 1968 Pacific Studio Demos again. It's time someone at least got the details right - this is the Livingstone/Malone era version of the band. Santana Jam is Treat. Let's... is Shades Of Time minus the vocals. Fried Neckbones is the finished version, as opposed to the in-progress mix released under names like La Puesta Del Sol - whereas Latin Tropical is an even-more unfinished mix of El Corazon Manda which we assume was never really finished.
@hilbert551
True it doesn't compare to later Santana, but he's in his early stages still finding his voice. I can hear strains of Gabor Szabo influence.
@kareemmohammed5270
yes!
@hilbert551
Is Michael Shrieve playing on this version of Soul Sacrifice?
