Background
Entering the second year of the Bosnian War, Hanka Paldum records her second wartime album and first war-themed album. It would be in cooperation with RTV BiH and published by the German-based Embex Produktion.
Release
Two versions of the cassette are known to exist. The first has blue letters on the cassette labels, while the second one has black letters.
Despite four copies of the blue letter variant having been found, not one of them has the title track "Sarajevo heroj grad" present on the tape. Instead, track two, Junak do junaka is moved to first on the tape, and the actual track two is a song with an unknown name.
The release seems to have been very hastily put together, as the back of the cover lacks detailed credits and the album cover image is taken from her 1990 album Vjetrovi tuge
