Kockar bez sreće

Kockar bez sreće (Serbian Cyrillic: Коцкар без среће, lit. "Gambler Without Luck") is the sixth studio album by Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža, released in late 1993 by SuperTon. It was released together with Rat i mir and would be the first time Baja was accompanied by Orkestar Genijalci. Kockar bez sreće differs from Baja's previous albums, as it does not contain any patriotic material. In the present day, it is one of the most rare and sought-after albums by Baja.

Background

The song "Nemoj me lagati mila" was performed by Baja as far back as 1989 where he performed the song in the Prvi Glas Livna competition. It would then be performed by Borislav Zorić Ličanin a year later in the album, Sve što imam, to mi je u lici.

The executive producers Novak and Lujan would go onto be founding members of the vocal group, Braća sa Dinare.

Release

Kockar bez sreće was simultaneously released along side Rat i mir in late 1993. Kockar bez sreće would also receive a release in Australia by Video Novosti.

SuperTon would produce music videos for both Kockar bez sreće and Rat i mir. These videos would be compiled in the 1994 VHS, Rat i mir.

In 2000, most of the songs would be reworked and compiled in Zaljubljen i mlad.

In 2015, the album was first uploaded to YouTube and other streaming services by SuperTon with the improper track listing. It would then be corrected with the 2020 re-release.
