There's some inconsistencies with the credits, namely some in all caps and some all lowercase. This is because the credits for whatever reason are lowercase in the credits while the cover is in uppercase. Most info I got from the credits and compared between versions. My cover is a bootleg, but I haven't checked its contents yet. There's much more I'd like to add here but running out character. Mod , admin mor Questions? DM disc pls)

Otadžbina (Serbian Cyrillic: Отаџбина, lit. "Fatherland") is a 1993 music video compilation made for Slaviša Guja's debut album, Otadžbina and the first VHS release officially published by Bijeljina-based production studio, Renome. While not as rare as its cassette counterpart, it is highly sought after by collectors.

Background

The VHS counterpart of Otadžbina is unique in the Renome catalog as it features text-based intermissions similar to that of a movie. Like the cassette version, the VHS has anti war themes and is the only Renome VHS release to be formatted in such a way.

Unlike some video compilations, Otadžbina rearranges the track order with the exception of "Svjetlani". "Svjetlani" also serves as the song that plays in the credits. This compilation's version of "Naša zemlja" is unique as it has an additional verse not heard of in the original release. The song "Majke" would not have a video counterpart for unknown reasons, though a new track serving as the opening track was made. The full track, like the VHS-exclusive version of "Naša zemlja", has never been officially released and its official name is currently unknown.

The backing band featured in the VHS would be the founding members of Slaja bend. Filming took place between 1992 and 1993 around the Sarajevo area. Kanal S (who was also responsible for recording filming and distributing the 1993 VHS compilation Srbima za sva vremena) helped with production. Marin p.p. also helped with production of the VHS, most likely with the title cards and other miscellaneous footage. In addition to directing, Marin Cvijetic would be responsible for creating the VHS's scenario. The military units Panteri and SJV Stari Grad voluntarily participated with the production with original footage such as the soldiers skiing in the mountains, training, and preparing to be deployed.

Release

Otadžbina released some time in 1993 on VHS, by Renome. It would be the first VHS officially published by the company. The music videos would be circulated on television during the war with the title track reportedly being seen as late as 1995[1] and "Moj grad" appearing on Herceg-Bosnian television.[2]

Like its cassette counterpart, Slaja is not fond of his past work and uploads of the music videos from YouTube channel Naša Srpska Arhiva were subsequently taken down in 2019.[3] Despite this, reuploads of NSA's version are still online[4] as well as legacy uploads dating back as far back as 2012. However it is generally not advised to upload/reupload any element of the tape.

Track listing

  • An unnamed track plays in the beginning of the VHS and before the title track.
  • "Naša zemlja" has one additional verse not in the original cassette release.
