Versions

This album has several editions, with different covers, name changes and addition of songs. The original cover of Tiempos que cambian (Times that change), included a photograph of Víctor Jara in black and white, in profile, looking to the right.[3] That image was later used in 2001, by WEA Chile, for the edition of the Antología musical (Musical anthology). For the edition of Manifiesto from 2001, made by WEA Chile, and image of Víctor Jara, with poncho and with a stone behind was used.
