Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu (trans. What Would You Give to Be in My Place) is the second studio album from influential Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1975. The album was polled the 17th on the 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums list in the 1998 book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best Albums of Yugoslav Pop and Rock Music). Background and recording After the huge commercial and critical success of Bijelo Dugme's debut album, Kad bi' bio bijelo dugme, and a successful tour that followed it, the band went to the Borike village in Eastern Bosnia in the fall of 1975 to work on songs for the following album. The album recording sessions started in November 1975, in London. The album was produced by Neil Harrison, who had previously worked with Cockney Rebel and Gonzalez. The bass guitar on the album was played by the band's vocalist, Željko Bebek, as the bass guitarist Zoran Redžić injured his middle finger just before the album recording started. Nevertheless, Redžić is credited on the album, as he worked on the bass lines, and directed Bebek during the recording. At the time, in the same studios, Roxy Music worked on their album Siren. The members of the band on several occasions visited Bijelo Dugme's recording sessions, expressing likes for Bijelo Dugme's songs. During the album recording, the band recorded an English language song, "Playing the Part", which was not released on the album, but appeared on the promo single distributed to journalists. "Playing the Part" lyrics were written by Dave Townsend; Jugoton executive Veljko Despot, who stayed with the band in London during the album recording, looking for someone to write the English language lyrics, contacted an artists agency, which sent Townsend. Album cover The album cover was designed by Dragan S. Stefanović, who had also designed the cover of the band's previous album. The photograph featured Zoran Redžić's girlfriend at the time.
