compilation featuring the second generation of New Wave and punk rock bands in Belgrade. The reason why they gave the song titles with alphabet letters was because they did not like the names they came up for the tracks.

In the meantime, the band had made several appearances at the Petkom u 22 (Friday at 22) television show.

the band split up and Nešović formed the band Berliner Strasse with his former bandmates from Urbana Gerila
