The album booklet features a cartoon by drummer Marcelo Bonfá depicting the constant guitarist changes that the band went through until they hired Dado Villa-Lobos.
[5] It was also the last Legião Urbana album to feature bassist Renato Rocha — he would leave the band during the recording sessions of the next release, As Quatro Estações.
[9][8] Besides the label's pressure (strengthened by the fact that the band had already missed the agreed deadline of three albums in 36 months), vocalist and acoustic guitarist Renato Russo himself would demand himself to quickly record some songs from his time with Aborto Elétrico ("Que País É Este", "Conexão Amazônica" and "Tédio"[9][10]) before Capital Inicial – another band spun off Aborto Elétrico – had the opportunity to do that.
[10] "Eu Sei" was written between the end of Aborto Elétrico and the foundation of Legião Urbana; a pirate version of the song was already being aired at some radio stations back then.
[9] Initial versions of "Eu Sei" and "Faroeste Caboclo", recorded in 1982 by Russo singing and playing the acoustic guitar, were recovered and released in 2008 on his posthumous solo album O Trovador Solitário.
He was constantly late and unable to play his parts the way Russo wanted them to be performed, which made the band start to regret having hired him.
[19] During the tour launched to promote this album, an infamous performance of the band at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília took place in June 1988 for an audience of some 50,000 people.
One month later, when the band performed at Maracanãzinho in Rio de Janeiro, the audience threw daisies in response to the incident in Brazil's capital.
