Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records (78s) collected in a bound book resembling a photo album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl LP record, long-playing (LP) records played at  rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the ''album era''.

Latin Rock
Latin Rock is a term to describe a subgenre blending traditional sounds and elements of Latin American and Hispanic Caribbean folk with rock music. However, it is widely used in the English-language media to refer any kind of rock music featuring Spanish or Portuguese vocals. This has led to controversy about the scope of the terminology. Latin Rock should not be confused with "rock music from Latin America" or Rock en Español. It's also closely related to the Latin alternative scene (which combines Latin elements with alternative rock, Pop music, pop, electronic music, Indie pop, indie or hip-hop among others) a term often used to refer the same phenomenon. History Origins (1950s–1960s) Rock and roll music of the 1950s originated from a variety of sources including rhythm and blues, blues, gospel, country, bluegrass, western swing, and Tin Pan Alley pop music. Also, there was some influence of the traditional Latin music. Caribbean rhythms like Calypso music, calypso we ...

It is the second and final release with Dean Ortega (ex-Neverland) on lead vocals.

As a result, the band came up with this mini-album consisting of 4 original songs and covers of " I'm a Man", written by Steve Winwood and Jimmy Miller for the Spencer Davis Group's 1967 album of the same name, and " Oh Well", written by Peter Green and first released on Fleetwood Mac's 1969 album ''Then Play On''.
