Mramor, kamen i željezo (trans. Marble, Stone and Iron) is the third live album by Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1987. Originally released as a double album, the material was recorded throughout 1987 during the band's tour in support of their Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo album.
Mramor, kamen i željezo was the band's last release to feature keyboardist Vlado Pravdić.
Background
The album was recorded during 1987, on the promotional tour for the band's 1986 album Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo (Spit and Sing, My Yugoslavia). [1] The album offered a retrospective of the band's work, featuring songs spanning from their early singles to their latest album. [2] The title track did not previously appear on any of the band's studio albums. It is a cover of a hit by the Yugoslav beat band Roboti. [2]
The album featured similar Yugoslavist iconography as the bands' previous two releases, Bijelo Dugme and Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo: the track "A milicija trenira strogoću" ("And Militsiya Trains Strictness") begins with the melody of " The Internationale", during the intro to "Svi marš na ples" ("Everybody Dance Now") the singer Alen Islamović shouts "Bratsvo! Jedinstvo!" (" Brotherhood! Unity!"), [2] and the album cover features a photograph from the 5th Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. [1]
Mramor, kamen i željezo was the band's last album to feature keyboardist Vlado Pravdić. He left the band after the album release, dedicating himself to computer business. [3] However, he continued to occasionally perform with the band, on larger concerts, [3] and was, until the end of the band's activity, still considered an official member. [4]
