The Best Of Santana Volume II
These 14 tracks lean heavily on the earliest phase of Santana Nine of them, in fact, were recorded prior to 1972, and just one postdates 1978. As 1969-71 was Santana s most vital period, however, that's no cause for complaint, and indeed the later cuts really pale in comparison. For someone who wants a little more than a greatest hits collection but wants to stop after two volumes, this is good enough, with first-rate items like "Persuasion," "Se Acabo," and "Guajira." Nothing here is rare, and note that the versions of "Black Magic Woman" and "Europa" are live ones. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
