NEW LP
New sealed copy. 2026 reissue. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl in The Netherlands.
Santana III is the third studio album by American rock band Santana, released in 1971 through Columbia Records. The band's second self titled album, it is commonly known as Santana III to distinguish it from their 1969 debut. It was the final studio album by the group's Woodstock era lineup until their reunion decades later on Santana IV, and it marked the arrival of 16 year old guitarist Neal Schon.
Recorded at Columbia Studios in San Francisco, the album continues Santana's combination of rock, Latin rhythms, percussion, and extended guitar driven arrangements. Songs include "Everybody's Everything," "No One to Depend On," "Batuka," and "Jungle Strut," with Carlos Santana and Schon both contributing prominent lead guitar work.
Santana III reached number one on the Billboard 200. "Everybody's Everything" reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, while "No One to Depend On" reached number 36.
