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:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
