With the band’s Youth Festival appearance being broadcast on national television, the first time any punk band appeared on Yugoslav TV, Pekinška Patka began receiving attention from Yugoslav record companies. Within weeks, in late May, Radio Novi Sad enabled them to do a demo , recording seven tracks in the station’s studios with Gabor Lenđel of the recently-disbanded Teška Industrija as the producer. The demo material would end up being unofficially released decades later in 2000 as a bootleg CD titled Demo 79 . With demo tracks in tow, the group started negotiating with PGP-RTB label about a debut album but could not reach a deal ultimately. Instead, the band went back to playing clubs in bigger Yugoslav cities Belgrade , Zagreb, and Sarajevo , developing a wider following.
