SANTANA-SHAPE SHIIFTER-2012-FIRST UK/EU PRESS-MUSIC ON VINYL- MOVLP573 is a rare European original by the legendary guitarist. Shape Shifter is the twenty—second studio album (thirty-sixth album overall) by Santana. It was released on May 14, 2012. This album is the first released by his new label Starfaith Records, which is distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, the owners of all of Santana's albums (except those recorded for Polydor Records, which are owned by Universal Music Group). This is also the first album since 1992 by Milagro, in which none of the songs have guest vocalists. This style was typical of Santana's Supernatural albums. There is only one song with vocals in the album ("Eres La Luz"). The track "Mr. Szabo" is a tribute to Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo, one of Carlos Santana's early idols, who released a series of 8 albums for Impulse Records between 1966 and 1967; the rhythmic and harmonic structure of the track is similar to "Gypsy Queen", Szabo's 1966 recording, covered by Santana in 1970 this year, as a medley with Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman". ...more
