Background and recording
Formed in 1984 by guitarist Goran Tomanović, Oktobar 1864 initially went through numerous lineup changes, before it, fronted by vocalist Tanja Jovićević, gained prominence in 1985 and 1986 by winning several prominent festivals.{{cite book|last=Janjatović|first=Petar|title=Ex YU rock enciklopedija 1960-2023|year=2024|publisher=self-released / Makart|location=Belgrade|page=217}} The band recorded their debut album during November and December 1986 in Studio O in Belgrade.[https://www.discogs.com/release/1924311-Oktobar-1864-Oktobar-1864 Oktobar 1864 at Discogs] The album was produced by Saša Habić, and featured guest appearances by Jovan Maljoković on saxophone, Zoran Lazarević on bass guitar, Bojan Zulfikarpašić—who also co-authored the song "Morning" ("Jutro")—on keyboards, and former S Vremena Na Vreme members Ljuba Ninković and Asim Sarvan on backing vocals.
