In early 1982, Bijelo Dugme performed in
Innsbruck,
Austria, at a manifestation conceptualized as a symbolic passing of the torch whereby the
Winter Olympic Games last host city (Innsbruck) makes a handover to the next one (Bijelo Dugme's homecity
Sarajevo).[1] On their return to Yugoslavia, the band's equipment was seized by the customs, as it was discovered that they had put new equipment into old boxes.[1] The band's record label,
Jugoton decided to lend 150,000,000
Yugoslav dinars to Bijelo Dugme, in order to pay the fine.[1] In order to regain part of the money as soon as possible, Jugoton decided to release two compilation albums, Singl ploče (1974-1975) and Singl ploče (1976-1980).[1]
