The Essential Santana
''The Essential Santana'' is a compilation album by Santana, released on 22 October 2002. The collection is part of a series of ''Essential'' sets released by Columbia Records. Uniquely among Santana compilations, " Soul Sacrifice" is included in the studio version from their first album, not the live performance from Woodstock. The compilation contains no songs from the highly successful ''Supernatural'' album, despite it being released 3 years before this album. This is because Columbia and Santana's current label Arista Records were not under common ownership at the time. In 2013, Sony issued another "Essential Santana" 2-CD set which truncates the original's repertoire and does include music from the Arista era, as well as the live Woodstock version of "Soul Sacrifice".
