Soldatski Bal

Soldatski bal is the debut studio album by Yugoslav band Plavi orkestar, released on 28 March 1985 through Jugoton. With over 500,000 copies sold, it is the best-selling debut album in Yugoslavia and its successor states. Recorded during January 1985 and released a few months later, the album was a huge commercial success, spawning numerous hits. It catapulted a band of 21-year-olds to nationwide fame, making them instant teen idols. The album's lyrics are mostly inspired by Saša Lošić's compulsory military service, which he served in Bitola from September 1983 until September 1984. The album features numerous guest appearances, including Nada Obrić, Aki Rahimovski of Parni valjak, Jura Stublić of Film, Peđa D'Boy of Dʼ Boys, Ivan "Firchie" Fece of EKV, Marina Perazić, Dragoš Kalajić, and Jovan Ćirilov. The album sleeve was designed by Bojan Hadžihalilović. In a replica of the Beatles' Sgt.
