    Factory Sealed Santana ABRAXAS Serial # 305 2 LP, 45 rpm, MFSL One-Step process. Ranked by Rolling Stone as 205th Greatest Album of All Time Abraxas Includes “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va”. You’ve never heard Santana’s peak creations come to life in such lifelike fashion or against such dead-quiet, squid-ink-black backgrounds. The outer shrink wrap that surrounds the box set has never been opened. It is not ripped, torn, or otherwise damaged. There are no dents, etc. In the outer case. Regarding the UNIQUE RECORDING PROCESS. Mobile Fidelity’s Premier UltraDisc One-Step Release. Mastered from the Original Master Tapes, Santana Abraxas UD1S 45RPM Box Set Reaches Sonic Heights Never Before Achieved by Analog. Deluxe Packaging Includes Opulent Box, Special Jackets, Unique Insert, and Fine-Art Print of the Original Mati Klarwein Painting: No Expense Spared on Audiophile Pressing Exclusively Limited to Just 2500 Copies. Santana’s iconic Abraxas is the debut release in Mobile Fidelity’s exclusive UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) series. It reaches three-dimensional sonic and emotional heights never before attained by analog recordings on this extremely limited 180g 45RPM vinyl 2LP box set. Created in finite batches for the ultimate in sound quality, UD1S uses a one-step lacquer process that yields vinyl with the lowest-possible noise floor, exponentially greater details, and significantly enhanced dynamics. Why Is Mobile Fidelity UltraDisc One-Step Superior? Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab’s new UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. While three-step processing is designed for optimum yield and efficiency, UD1S is created for the ultimate in sound quality. Just as Mobile Fidelity pioneered the UHQR (Ultra High-Quality Record) with JVC in the 1980s, UD1S again represents another state-of-the-art advance in the record-manufacturing process. MFSL engineers begin with the original master tapes and meticulously cut a set of lacquers. These lacquers are used to create a very fragile, pristine UD1S stamper called a convert. ” Delicate “converts are then formed into the actual record stampers, producing a final product that literally and figuratively brings you closer to the music. By skipping the additional steps of pulling another positive and an additional negative, as done in the three-step process used in standard pressings, UD1S produces a final LP with the lowest noise floor possible today. The removal of the additional two steps of generational loss in the plating process reveals tremendous amounts of extra musical detail and dynamics, which are otherwise lost due to the standard copying process. The exclusive nature of these very limited pressings guarantees that every UD1S pressing serves as an immaculate replica of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape. Every conceivable aspect of vinyl production is optimized to produce the most perfect record album available today. The deluxe packaging and gorgeous presentation of this Abraxas pressing befit its extremely select status. Housed in an opulent box, this UD1S edition contains special jackets and a unique insert that further illuminate the genius of the recording. A special fine-art print of the original Mati Klarwein painting used on the cover, and which depicts the image in its entirety, is also included. No expense has been spared. Aurally and visually, this Abraxas is the intentional opposite of the modern era’s mindlessly dismissive ways of hearing music. It is a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. Intended to be passed on to future generations, This Pressing is made for discerning listeners that prize sound and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the music and everything involved with the album, from the graphics to the textures. – – – – – – – – – – – Because this SEALED box set is numbered it has a unique value.
