released first EP

As the band failed to gain interest from Yugoslav record labels, they released material intended for their debut album on three separate vinyl EPs through DID Slovenija. In 1987, they released their first EP, entitled Bolje izdati ploču nego prijatelja ( Better to Release a Record than to Betray a Friend ), with the songs “Cirkus” (“Circus”), “Ratna pjesma” (“War Song”), “Maja” and “Kad Sunce opet zađe” (“When the Sun Sets Once More”). During the same year, the band released their second EP …Budimo solidarni – s bogatima… ( …Let’s Show Solidarity – with the Rich… ), which featured the songs “Lutke na koncu” (“Puppets on String”), “Kako da živim bez para” (“How Can I Live without Money”) and a cover of Italian World War II resistance song ” Bella Ciao “. The 1988 EP Hoćemo cenzuru ( We Want Censorship ) featured the songs “Hoćemo cenzuru”, “Vajk na bolje” (“For the Better”) and “Preživjeti (We Rebember Marjeto)” (“To Survive (We Remember Marjeto)”), the latter dedicated to their former vocalist. The band’s last concert on their Swiss tour was held in Biel and recorded on a simple tape recorder ; satisfied with the sound, following the release of their three EPs, they decided to release the recording of the concert on audio cassette, under the title Live in Biel . In 1988, the band also performed on Subotica Youth Festival as winners of the festival’s previous edition. Owing to their performances in West Germany, the band made connections with German independent record label Incognito Records, which, in 1989, released the compilation album Bolivia R’N’R , including the songs from the first three EPs and the group’s old demo recordings.
