Review

For most listeners the first disc in this two-disc set of early Santana tracks will be the one of interest because it contains the band's biggest hits "Evil Ways," "Soul Sacrifice," "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va," and since the first disc is also available as a standalone package (under the same title of Definitive Collection), that's probably the way to go here. Even better would be to simply pick up Santana's first two albums, 1969's Santana and 1970s Abraxas. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
