History
The euphoria Idoli have made with their single Maljčiki / Retko te viđam sa devojkama resulted a great expectation on the next release. The band entered the studio in April 1981. Photographs from the recording sessions were released in newspapers and magazines. The band recorded six songs, including two cover versions. The whole material was released on a 12" self-titled EP.
The band covered in an Elvis Costello style Chuck Berry's hit “Come On” but with lyrics in Serbo‐Croatian entitled "Hajde!" and "Devojko mala" for which the lyrics were taken from Nebojša Krstić's poetry book "O, Ima Načina". "Hajde!" appeared on the Dečko koji obećava movie soundtrack.
The record design and production was done by Ivan Stančić Piko and the cover was chosen to be "The Red Nude" act by Amedeo Modigliani. Guest appearances featured Film members Malden Juričić (also known as Max Wilson) who made guest appearance playing harmonica and Jurij Novoselić (also known as Kuzma Videosex) who played organ.
VIS Idoli was also released as a double cassette EP with Film's Live in Kulušić EP entitled Zajedno. A remastered version was released on the band's 2007 box set with two bonus tracks.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
