Classic. Ben Sidran (See you on the other side) produced it, he was in the Steve Miller band. Nice when a record company's fuck you over twice, Pena's second album came out almost 3 decades after recording it. He did make some money on the royalties of Jet Airliner though.

What a shock, a black artist getting fucked over by the music industry.
