Soda Stereo recorded their debut during the second half of 1984.
The album was produced by Federico Moura, vocalist for Virus.
By that time, Moura and Cerati had developed a fruitful artistic relationship.
The recording took place in the defunct studios of CBS on Paraguay street.
The end result was cooler sound than of the live shows, which the bands were pleased with.
The trio was aided by Daniel Melero on keys and Gonzo Palacios on sax.
Both were listed as "guest musicians," a practice which would become common for Soda throughout their career.
Such guest musicians would be recognized by the public as the "fourth Sodas".

The attention garnered by Soda was manifested in their playing of larger and larger venues.
First was "La Esquina Del Sol" in Palermo. "
El Recital De Los Lagos" on 1 and 2 December was their first multi-headlining show with top Argentine acts.
The show was hosted by Argentinean television personality Juan Alberto Badía.

Soda Stereo presented their debut album at El Teatro Astros on 14 December 1984, it was their first show there.
The stage was designed by Alfredo Lois, who for the occasion located 26 television sets in the background.
The TVs were turned on and out of sync with each other - the theme of "Sobredosis de TV" (TV Overdose).
The TVs, together with a large amount of smoke, created an unusual but captivating visual effect.

On 26 January 1985 Soda played the Rock in Bali festival in Argentine port city of Mar del Plata.
On 17 March they played the Festival Chateau Rock '85 at the Estadio Olímpico Chateau Carreras in Córdoba Province.
The official biography of the band attaches great importance to this appearance, indicating that the band played for 15 thousand people and that they were the revelation of the festival.
However, Córdoba media outlets claim that, "only half the number of people actually showed up and that Soda were hardly noticed because their first record had was just released a few months earlier."
They also added "Raul Porchetto was the biggest draw of the night".
Regardless, their presence at Chateau sparked a personal relationship between the band the youth of Córdoba, it marked the moment that the band began to take flight toward national stardom.

The success of the band began at a very peculiar time, related, on the one hand with the return of democracy to Argentina (10 December 1983), and on the other hand, with increasing notions of postmodernism, particularly in the way the 1980s youth created their role in a newly democratic society, one that had just emerged from bloody dictatorship and war.

Years later, Zeta Bosio would reflect on this juncture:
The democracy produced the adrenalin of something new, something was occurring, I knew I was going to make changes without knowing how.
There was more air for us to make things and to wander, and we were a band of kids that wanted to make trouble.
Our attention was on punk and on trying to show that there was something else that was more direct
On 13 October of that year, Soda played in front of a large audience in Buenos Aires as part of the third night of the Festival of Rock and Pop Held at the José Amalfitani Stadium home of the soccer club Velez Sarsfield .
They shared the stage with INXS, Nina Hagen, Charly García, Virus, and Sumo, among others.
By then Fabian "Vön" Quintero and Gonzo Palacios were "stable guests."
