Recording history

Vocalist Saúl Blanch left the band before recording the album. After his departure, a number of other singers, such as Carlos Perigo and Shito Molina, took his place. Molina was supposed to be the singer in the album, but he left because of a throat illness. As a result, the band, pressed for time, decided to re-recruit Blanch for the recordings. After the recording of the album and some gigs, Blanch left the group, who then recruited Adrián Barilari.

It was reissued on CD in 1993 by Philips Records.[2]

gollark: Well, if the method isn't found on the trait, it raises a catchable compilation error at runtime.
gollark: This is what subscripting does. I was very clear.
gollark: What's the problem?
gollark: Do `a["apioform"]` and it looks up the apioform method on the trait a and calls it with the current Unix time.
