¡Soltad a Barrabás! is the third album by the Spanish group Barrabás, released in 1974. The album was originally released as Release Barrabás or Hi-Jack in some other countries, but the modern CD release retains the Spanish title. It was the first album recorded outside their native Spain.

"Hi-Jack" / "Lady Love" was released as a single, reached No. 1 in Spain, but only made the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Charts in the U.S., peaking as high as No. 104 over there, however, the song was successfully covered by American jazz musician Herbie Mann in 1975, in which his version became the much bigger hit success in the U.S.[1]
