Crvena jabuka (album)

Crvena Jabuka is the first studio album by Sarajevo-based Bosnian band Crvena Jabuka. It was recorded in January and February 1986, and the official release was 22 March 1986.^[1]

This album was the first (and only) album to have the band in its original lineup. Many of the songs on this album were written by .

After the release of their self-titled debut album, Crvena Jabuka was supposed to go on a concert on 18 September 1986. The concert never happened since two members of the band were involved in a serious car crash near Jablanica that claimed the life of bass player Aljoša Buha at the scene, as well as guitarist and vocalist Dražen Ričl (who died in a hospital nearly two weeks later from the injuries.)

This was the album where the band's logo was derived. On the photo on the album we see a naked woman with a red apple painted across her buttocks. Subsequent albums always had a red apple put in some fashion for example Sanjati showed a man holding a red apple. The only two albums that didn't have the red apple were Nekako s' proljeća and U tvojim očima.
