The second album of the Croatian combo Stidljiva Ljubičica stands firmly in the ground like a monolith. The debut Osvrni Se Na Mene is already a powerpop opera. The album was recorded in the Jadran Film studio, but unfortunately the composer, guitarist, Zlatko and bassist, Tvrtko could not take part in the mix because they went to the army immediately after recording. Elvira and Renato attended school and Zlatko with great confidence left PIKI STANČIĆ to finish the mix, and it was agreed earlier to make an album cover. Zlatko wanted the album to be called A GIFT FROM HEAVEN and the song to be the announcement single, but that didn't happen, but the title of the song from the last album Jesenje Frke was taken as title of the second album. The release of the album was announced by a song using a live string quartet called Ne Idi, but the actual hit (promoted by the National TV show "Hit Of The Month" with the band's appearance in military uniforms) was the song Tvoj Broj. There was very little but no praise for the album because there was not much opportunity to promote it. Only at the beginning of 1984 the group was physically able to reunite in the same composition, but the members of the band could not promote the "old" album, so there was only one concert in the original lineup in Zagreb in the Pauk Hall. The group was again full of new ideas and even more interested in experimenting with rhythm and style. So all twelve songs are small melodic, energetic pop anthems and weave a fascinatingly refreshing sound.
