This album did however leak on the internet and there appears to be at three versions floating around (The Great Divide, For The Working Man & El Coyote).
Since then, John Garcia released three albums with band Hermano. and in 2004, Unida appeared on the High Times Records’ High Volume: The Stoner Rock Collection contributing the track Left Us To Mold. |
