Album Info

Release Date: 1989-02

Label: Jugoton

Double album in a plain cover, no gatefold.

Track list on side B centre label is incorrect: factually, there are eight tracks, not nine - the track B3 is titled "Traži mene / Dao sam ti svoju ljubav" as printed on back cover but it is listed "3. DAO SAM TI SVOJU LJUBAV" and "4. TRAŽI MENE" on side B centre label - in fact, the original lyrics of the song "Traži mene" goes first and then the additional lyrics titled "Dao sam ti svoju ljubav". Track marked with 5. is factually B4, track marked with 6. is factually B5 and so on closing with 9. that is factually track B8.
Tracks A4, B6, B8, C4, C6, D3 and D5 are sung in English, tracks B2, B7 and C1 sung both in English and Serbo-Croatian, track D7 in the original Romany and track C2 has got a lyrics part in Italian: "Baby, ascolta mi..."
Track A7 is cover of the folk song from the southern Serbia (Vranje) "A, kude si bila Kara Koco" first released 1970 by Staniša Stošić (also known as "A kude si bila Karakoco" or just "A kude si bila").
Track B3 is cover of the song "Traži mene" released 1975 on the self titled album by the S vremena na vreme.
Track C2 is Serbo-Croatian cover (with a part of the original, Italian text written by Mogol) of the song "Piangi con me", in Italian, composed by Michael Julien, first released 1967 by The Rokes and also in English (lyrics written by Shel Shapiro) by the same group, titled "Let's Live for Today". The latter version was released the same year by The Grass Roots (here miscredited as composer).
Track D3 is the English cover of the song "Tvoje lice" released 1981 on the album "Tango bango" by the Aerodrom.
Track D7 is cover of the song "Hajri Mate diki daje" first released 1965 by Esma Redžepova ‎on the album "Esma - Zigeuner-Folklore aus Mazedonien".

"Snimljeno u „SIM‟ studiju, Zagreb, studeni/prosinac 1988." = "Recorded at the „SIM‟ studio, Zagreb, November/December 1988."
"Miksano u „Lisinski Recording Studios‟, Zagreb, siječanj 1989." = "Mixed at the „Lisinski Recording Studios‟, Zagreb, January 1989."

Yugoslav rights society SOKOJ is printed below (ST)(33) on all centre labels but crossed out - misprinted "AZRA MUZIC" (correct it would be Azra Music) appears instead.
