Album Description
Available in:
Mrtva priroda (eng. Still Life) is the third studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Riblja Čorba, released in 1981. The album was polled in 1998 as the 19th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music). For the first time, a Riblja Čorba album featured a song written entirely by the guitarist Momčilo Bajagić, "Ja sam se ložio na tebe". Nevertheless, Riblja Čorba frontman Bora Đorđević remained the band's main author, with six songs written by him. The album was produced by John McCoy. In his 2011 book, Šta je pesnik hteo da kaže, Đorđević recalls how the band decided to hire McCoy:

"Stanko Terzić, an executive at PGP-RTB, knew he had the goose that laid the golden eggs in his hands, so the label paid for our trip to London to find a producer and a studio to record in. As soon as we landed at Heathrow, we bought two most important music magazines in the world New Musical Express and Melody Maker. We looked at the charts. Both magazines had Gillan's latest album on top. Released by Virgin Records, produced by John McCoy. 'He'll be our producer', we decided."

Đorđević also states that the band was offered to record the album in one of the studios in which Deep Purple recorded Deep Purple In Rock, but refused, as PGP-RTB had just bought new equipment for their Studio V, so McCoy and Tony Taverner, who was in charge of recording, travelled to Belgrade. Đorđević states that he did not want to put "Vetar duva, duva, duva", a short humorous song about cannabis, on the album, but was persuaded to do so by the rest of the members.

"The next day, when we came to the studio, John waited for us in kafana. Here's the trick: in the absence of grass, which would destroy our concentration, the English guy, in order to achieve the real atmosphere, decided to get us drunk. After two or three hours of preparations, the jolly company went into the studio and started to sing."

The album cover was designed by Jugoslav Vlahović.
