Mramor, kamen i željezo (trans. Marble, Stone and Iron) is the third live album by Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1987. Released as a double album, the material was recorded throughout 1987 during the band's tour in support of their Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo album.

Mramor, kamen i željezo was the band's last album to feature keyboardist Vlado Pravdić, who unofficially left the band after the album release.

Background[]

The album was recorded during 1987, on the tour on which the band promoted their 1986 album Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo.[1] The album offered a retrospective of the band's work, featuring songs from their early singles to their latest album.[2] The title track is a cover of a hit by the Yugoslav beat band  [hr].[2]

The album featured similar Yugoslavist iconography as the bands' previous two releases, Bijelo Dugme and Pljuni i zapjevaj moja Jugoslavijo: the track "A milicija trenira strogoću" begins with "The Internationale" melody, during the intro to "Svi marš na ples" the singer Alen Islamović shouts "Bratsvo! Jedinstvo!" ("Brotherhood! Unity!"),[2] and the album cover features a photograph from the 5th Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.[1]

Mramor, kamen i željezo was the band's last album to feature keyboardist Vlado Pravdić. He left the band after the album release, dedicating himself to computer business.[3] However, he continued to occasionally perform with the band, on larger concerts,[3] and was, until the end of the band's activity, still considered an official member.[4]

Reception[]

Despite the fact that the concerts on the tour were praised, the album was disliked by the critics.[5] Most of them considered Mramor, kamen i željezo the band's worst live album.[5] The band's leader, Goran Bregović stated about the album: "My intention wasn't to make a live album. I just wanted to record some of Bijelo Dugme arrangements."[6]
