The non-aligned SFR Yugoslavia was not an Eastern Bloc member and was largely opened to western influences, compared to the other communist countries.

Yugoslavia had a well-developed rock scene, which became very popular in communist Poland, where the freedom of expression was much more restricted.

Električni Orgazam recorded a live album titled Warszawa '81, Azra released the song Poljska u mome srcu (Poland in My Heart, released on "Sunčana strana ulice") as a support to the Polish opposition against Wojciech Jaruzelski, and the prominent promoter Igor Vidmar organized a concert in support of Solidarity.

It features cover versions of eminent artists from SFR Yugoslavia such as Električni Orgazam, Idoli, Prljavo Kazalište, Haustor, Parni Valjak and Bajaga i Instruktori.

Vlada Divljan from Belgrade's Idoli and Darko Rundek from the Zagreb-based Haustor were invited as guests to the Yugoton project.
