Menudo is the name of three albums by Menudo.
The group released three self titled albums in their history. The first one was in 1981 which was also released under the title "Fuego".
The second one was Menudo's 16th album (second in English) released in 1985 featuring Charlie Masso, Roy Rosello, Robby Rosa, Ricky Martin, and new Member Raymond Acevedo. Raymond replaced Ray Reyes after Ray had to be forced to leave the group because he grew too tall. Menudo's management reported that the move had to be made because his height was making the group look uneven. This album contains 7 brand new songs plus 3 songs from their "Evolucion" album translated into English. It also features their only song to reach the Billboard Hot 100: "Hold Me", which peaked at #62.
The third self titled album was Menudo's 22nd (third in Portuguese) released in 1986 featuring Charlie Masso, Robby Rosa, Ricky Martin, Raymond Acevedo, and Sergio Gonzalez. This album is the Portuguese version of "Refrescante" and once again the group's management decided to release the album using the same cover that was used for the Spanish version. This is the fourth and final album recorded by this line-up.
