Kad bi bio bijelo dugme (trans. If I Were a White Button) is the 1974 debut studio album from influential former Yugoslav rock band Bijelo dugme. Together with their second album, Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu, Kad bi bio bijelo dugme is considered the most Heavy metal-oriented album of their 16 year career. At the time the band was strongly influenced by the heavy metal pioneers such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, together with blues and traditional Balkan music, a combination that would be further explored by band leader, chef lyricist and composer Goran Bregović in latter years.
The band's name originated from the title track "Kad bi' bio bijelo dugme" (translation: "If I were a white button") as the band released it as a single while still performing under the name Jutro. The front album cover was done by an old high school friend of Bregovic, Dragan S.Stefanovic. However, Stefanovic has never revealed the identity of the blond model.
The album easily broke all the previous sales records, having half a million units sold.
