Background
The album was recorded on the last concert of the tour that followed the release of the album Doživjeti stotu. The band was announced by journalist Dražen Vrdoljak (the announcement being featured on the album). The album's sound was in correspondence with the shift from hard rock towards new wave the band made with Doživjeti stotu.
The album featured a cover of Indexi song "Sve ove godine" ("All These Years").
Album cover
The cover artwork depicted a three-picture presentation of a girl wearing an adult woman's robe and high heels. The girl photographed was daughter of actor Mladen Jeličić. Although the album cover saw no controversy in 1981, when 5. april '81 was re-released on CD by Croatia Records in 2003, the image was modified, leaving only the leftmost and rightmost photos, most likely because the girl's genital area is visible in the middle photo.
