On 25 May 1990, the band performed as the opening act for D.O.A. on their concert in Dobrova , SR Slovenia . The band once again tried to secure a contract with some of Yugoslav major record labels. After they were once again refused by almost all of the major labels, the group managed to sign a contract with a prominent Maribor -based label Helidon, mostly owing to the interest coming from the label’s editor Boris Bele , the leader of the band Buldožer . The label, in 1990, released KUD Idijoti’s first genuine studio album, entitled Mi smo ovdje samo zbog para ( We’re Only Here for the Money ). The album was well received by punk audience across Yugoslavia, bringing the hits “Minijatura” (“Miniature”), “Neću da radim za dolare” (“I Don’t Wanna Work for Dollars”), “Kako to može” (“How Can It Be”) and a 7-minute version of “Bandiera Rossa”. The latter featured Biljana “Bilja” Babić of the band Boye reading the exchange rate list, and the song “…dan kada sam ostao sam” (“…Day When I Was Left All Alone”) featured Milovanović on lead vocals. The success of the album led the band to self-release the VHS Đuro Was Sold Out! , featuring the recording of their concert held in Zagreb’s Đuro Đaković Hall on 26 December 1988.
