    My copy has 1E in the deadwax on both sides and a strange ‘original’ u-shaped red CBS sticker on top of the Columbia center label.

    Anyone who can help out?

    The album is marvelous and sounds incredibly dynamic and detailed.

      SANTANA became somewhat famous for being the only unknown band to play at WOODSTOCK due to the fact that "SANTANA " (1969) was not released until after the concert . This album and the three (3) LP release of the WOODSTOCK soundtrack made SANTANA and other performers at the concert famous .

        My version has matrix numbers ending in 1D and 1G

        Tracks A2 credited to J Zack and A5 credited to M. Olatunji

        Any idea which version this is?

          I'm not sure if it's because my copy is a 1A in pristine condition, but this variation sounds AMAZING. Very clear with a nice full ambiance to its sound.
          My copy matrix #'s:
          XSM-139377-1A

            My copy features the 3rd variant stamped, not etched. Also, I have the smaller (1”) label indent (contracted Columbia pressing?) and the incorrect Evil Ways credit, but correct Jingo credit.

              My Copy:
              Matrix / Runout (Side A etched): XSM139377-1AD (instead of 1AG)
              Matrix / Runout (Side B etched): XSM139378-1AE

                I have 2 with the catalog number CS 9781 which have the same labels and stamped runouts. But, the jackets are very different in size (One taller than the other). Unfortunately I can't make out any other etchings to pinpoint which pressing they are.

                  Anyone know which LP version has Jingo titled as "Jin-go-lo-ba" and correctly attributed to M. Olatunji? I can't seem to find it above. Catalog # CS9781
