Does anyone else have an orange flame jacket and a red flame jacket? On the orange flame jacket Gato looks very pale...on the re flame jacket the sax glows in a rich gold color. Are these two unique entities?

Just posting to agree with P_Hangman below - this album is a diamond in the rough. Cop it if you see it ( most likely for a buck or two )

Previous releases by Mr. Barbieri were excelent, released without too much commercial potential, but, anyway, they sold great -and they launched Barbieri into global fame.
But don't judge this so early. Sure, it was released on A&M and produced by Herb Alpert (Great pop potential up to this point...). And fully released in America and Europa. But, instead of being a cheesy pop-infected record, this is a really DIVINE one.
Gato Barbieri was capable in here to do something that few could in that era: to blend his own style into (some) pop tunes, without sounding crappy. That element is spread all over this marvelous album: the funky "Fireflies", the dreamy "Fiesta", the great cover of "Europa" (I got to admit that this was the version that i first listened of the Santana song), that other excelent cover of "I Want You", and "Los Desesperados", where it can be noticed much of the original style of Barbieri. And it got some short interludes that doesn't sound unnecesary. Excelent for a rainy day.
Folks, really, hear this. It's fantastic and it shouldn't be missed by any Gato follower or even the listeners of Soul, Funk and Jazz. Is a great point in "Cat" Barbieri's carreer.
