Background

edit

After the release of their debut album Kog sam đavola tražio u tebi (What the Hell I Saw in You) in 1983, Griva recorded the material for their second album, produced, as their previous album, by Karolj Kovač.[1] Despite the success of the band's debut, the material for the second album was refused by several major Yugoslav record labels and noncommercial, so the band released the album through independent record label Panonija Koncert.[2] It featured a cover of Joan Jett's version of the song "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", Griva version titled "I Law Myroslaw"[2] (the title referring to folk music singer Miroslav Ilić) and ridiculing Yugoslav "newly-composed folk music".
