gold suites, while Banović played a set of gold-colored drums. Vocalists Moma Davidović and Tomi Sovilj performed with the band occasionally, but after some time Stefanović remained the band's only vocalist. The band gained large popularity, so, in 1964, they played as a backing band for singer Miki Jevremović on his highly successful EP 18 žutih ruža (18 Yellow Roses). They started to perform regularly in Gradski podrum club, and in 1964 they performed, alongside Safiri, Iskre, Lutalice and Ivanka Pavlović & Valjevski Dečaci on Parada ritma (Parade of Rhythm), the first rock festival held in Yugoslavia and arguably the first rock festival in a communist country. Zlatni Dečaci wanted to break through to Yugoslav radio stations, which were at the time reserved towards beat music, so they started recording beat covers of classical music pieces. Karaklajić took those recordings to the Netherlands, where he participated in a chess tournament, managing to persuade local radio stations to broadcast them. This got the editors of Dutch label Fontana Records interested in the band. For Fontana Records the band, under the name Golden Boys, released the single "Swan Lake" (a version of a theme from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's opera Swan Lake) and "Humoresque" (a version of a humoresque by Antonín Dvořák), thus becoming the first Yugoslav rock band to release a record for the foreign market. A year later, in 1966, those two recordings, alongside versions of a theme from Charles Gounod's opera Faust and Ion Ivanovici's waltz "Waves of the Danube", were released by Yugoslav record label Jugoton on the EP Humoreska (Humoresque). With these compositions the band gained nationwide popularity and soon started performing across Yugoslavia. However, a part of the public criticized the fact that uneducated musicians performed and recorded classical music. On the other hand, a part of Yugoslav rock musicians in interviews accused Zlatni Dečaci of pandering to broad audience with their covers of classical pieces. This did not affect the band's popularity; they held sold-out concerts in Euridika club, appeared on Yugoslav television on numerous occasions and recorded over 20 tunes for Radio Belgrade. In April 1966, thanks to Karaklajić, Zlatni Dečaci performed in Great Britain, where Karaklajić participated in a chess tournament. In order to acquire visas for Zlatni Dečaci more easily, he presented the band members as young chess players. In Great Britain the band held several performances. They performed in Bognor Regis in
