  • Soldatski bal (translation: The Soldiers' Ball) is the first studio album by the Yugoslav band Plavi orkestar, released in 1985. With over 500,000 copies sold, it is the best-selling debut album in Yugoslavia and its successor states. Recorded during January 1985 and released a few months later, the album was a huge commercial success, spawning numerous hits. It catapulted a band of 21-year-olds to nationwide fame, making them into instant teenage stars. The album's lyrics are mostly inspired by Saša Lošić's compulsory military service, which he served in Bitola from September 1983 until September 1984. The album features numerous guest appearances, including Nada Obrić, Aki Rahimovski of Parni valjak, Jura Stublić of Film, Peđa D'Boy of Dʼ Boys, Ivan "Firchie" Fece of EKV, Marina Perazić, Dragoš Kalajić, and Jovan Ćirilov. The album sleeve was designed by Bojan Hadžihalilović. In a replica of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, it shows the four band members flanked by the seven Yugoslav Youth Communist League (SKOJ) secretaries, in addition to 49 individuals from Yugoslav history and public life such as Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, Ivo Lola Ribar, Bata Živojinović, Lepa Brena, Vuk Karadžić, Slavko Štimac, Miroslav Krleža, Oliver Mandić, Mirza Delibašić, etc. In 2015 the album cover was ranked 58th on the list of 100 Greatest Album Covers of Yugoslav Rock published by web magazine Balkanrock.
