Ayer y Hoy is Menudo's 18th album (16th in Spanish) released in 1985, featuring Charlie Massó, Roy Rosselló, Robby Rosa, Ricky Martin, and Raymond Acevedo. This is the second album that this line-up recorded together. The album had a Portuguese version, A Festa Vai Começar, with all the songs translated into Portuguese and bearing a slightly revised cover. The album peaked at #19 in the Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart.[1] This is the last album Roy Rossello recorded as a member. According to a book written by Raymond Acevedo's father in 2012 titled "Papi, Quiero Ser Un Menudo," In January 1986, Roy threatened to expose management irregularities to the press and was given a huge sum of money to leave the group due to his behavior as it was deemed by creator Edgardo Diaz as "uncontrollable." At this time, Menudo's management started bending the rules and started allowing members to remain in the group after reaching the age limit. Rossello was replaced by Sergio Blass

Ayer y hoy means "yesterday and today" in Spanish.
