Background and recording

Zapis was recorded after the hiatus in the band's work caused by the outbreak of the Yugoslav Wars. It was recorded from October to December 1995 in PGP-RTS Studio V [1] and produced by Vladimir Negovanović. [2] All the album lyrics were written by the band's old associate Duško Arsenijević, [1] Zapis being Kerber's second album to feature all the lyrics written by him, the first one being the band's fourth studio album, Ljudi i bogovi (Humans and Gods). The album was recorded with three new members, bass guitarist Saša Vasković (who came in as the replacement for Branko Isaković), acoustic guitar player Vladan Stanojević and percussionist Goran Đorđević. [2] For the first time in the band's career, the lineup included acoustic guitar and percussion, [2] and instead of Božinović's trademark synthesizer sound, most of the songs featured him playing Hammond organ. Van Gogh frontman Zvonimir Đukić "Đule" made a guest appearance on the album, playing guitar. [1] The album also featured guest appearances by bass guitarists Nenad Stefanović "Japanac", Slaviša Pavlović and the band's former member Branko Isaković. [1] The album artwork was created by pop music singer Maja Nikolić. [1]

Unlike Kerber's previous albums, Zapis was released on audio cassette only on its initial run. However, promotional LP records were sent to radio stations in late 1995, but, due to the limitations of the vinyl format, the tracks "Šta mogu pesme" ("What Songs Can Do") and "Pronađi mesto" ("Find a Place") were left off. [1] Zapis was released on CD for the first time in 2009, as a part of the Sabrana dela (Collected Works) box set. [1]
