Another nice single from Bijelo Dugme, one of their first successes before the release of their first album.On the A-side we got the rockin Da Sam Pekar track, while on the B-side there is one of their best rock-ballads, Selma.A must-have item!

PAUL JONES - Sons And Lovers -1967



Now, a flexi disc from a singer I never heard before (I must admit I had Tom Jones on my mind when listening to this guy), but here is this nice Pop song, for which I haven`t found the video, so instead I put a short live performance of another, very similiar song.

VAPORS - Turning Japanese -1980




Here is the single of (as far as I know) the one-hit-Punk-wonders Vapors, a song that will be popular again in the 2Ks for being part of the soundtrack of the "Charlie`s Angels" movie.So, the a side is probably heard by most of you, while on the b-side there is a live-track, an also very melodic and catchy song.

INDEXI - Pogresan Broj -1974




Here is a single from a period of Indexi`s carreer that represented their turn from a psychedelic Hard Rock band to a more softer Pop style.The title track is a loud and strong rocker, while the flipside contains one of their legendary ballads, something that they were masters of.And, yeah, check the Davorin Popovic`s "Heavy Metal Kids" t-shirt on the cover!!

IRON MAIDEN - Twilight Zone -1981




This is one of the first singles of the most popular Heavy Metal band ever, a single between the first and the second album.It was described as a "Double A-side" single, but as you may notice, it is divided A and B sides.The A side is a single track that was never released on a regular album, and probably a leftover of the material recorded for the Killers album.On the B side, the great Wrathchild track, no need to comment it.

M - Pop Muzik -1979



A huge hit, and of course, a one-hit-wonder band.There is no chance that you haven`t bumped into this song at least one time in your life.So the huge hit is on the first side, and on the second side is a New Wave track entitled M Factor, which is actually not that bad, but surely very far from the catchy first side track.

THE WHO - Happy Jack -1966


The next flexi-disc of the Dzuboks collection contains a major The Who hit, a nice short song Happy Jack, with a slight focus on Keith Moon`s drumming.

ELEKTRICNI ORGAZAM - Odelo -1982



Ok, here is a single from one of the most popular New Wave bands of Yugoslavia in the 80s.Electric Orgasm coming from Belgrade, they started as a Punk/Wave explosive band.And I was a fan of that period, this one is a post Punk stuff I don`t like that much, so here is this single with two less-than-two-minutes songs, with an alternative touch.Of both songs, I somehow prefer the first one on the a side.

KATE BUSH - Wuthering Heights -1978




Oh, yes.. a woman I am eternally in love with.. this was her first hit single, from a beautiful first album "The Kick Inside".Katie was only 17 at the time, and David Gilmore (yes, the Pink Floyd guy) found her and obviously found a diamond.You probably all know the title track, a beautiful yet twisted ballad.And the b-side contains a nice track from the same album, so you can`t go wrong.If you ever loved Kate (not as much as I do) this one is essential.

THE BEATLES - Hello Goodbye -1967


Another flexi disc from the DZUBOKS collection.This time, the legendary Beatles and their well known hit Hello Goodbye.
