It is actually a re-make of their first album Caliente from 1970. The original recording label Mandioca had gone bankrupt by mid 1970, and the record was hard to find even in those days, so the band decided to record it again, minus one song: No es por falta de suerte, and adding Azúcar amarga and El regreso del Dr. Jekyll. The result was deemed good enough to satisfy the needs of those who did not own the original LP. "Reflejos tuyos y míos" it's the first song of Vox Dei with the lead vocals of Rubén Basoalto.

The songs performed with Nacho Smilari belong to the 1971 single "Dónde has estado todo este tiempo"/"Tan solo un hombre".
