Srpska zora | Two iterations of ''Srpska zora'' exist with entirely different instrumentals and vocal takes. The cover of the first iteration showcases a medium close-up shot of Krunica edited on top of a greater version of the Serb coat of arms. Notably, the Grafosaund logo on the spine is also a much rougher variant only seen here and on its tape labels, as it consists of a hand drawn book and a half of the [[Jugodisk]] logo. The typography of the cassette is also uneven at times, in particular on the front cover. The back of the cover also contains blue text and for the first and only time music credits. The cassette itself also features the variant of the Grafosaund logo and slanted side indicators. The audio on the first iteration features music much different to Krunica's usual style, as its music is not as tight-knit and sometimes sounds like a demo. The poems on the album feature barebone instrumentals, mostly using sampled orchestras, choirs and on the last song Gedža's version of "[[Marš na Drinu]]" plays under Krunica's recital and sound effects. The songs themselves have much more traditional instrumentation but also use keyboards, which gives it a distinct sound not heard in other Krunica releases. The vocals on the album are also not perfect and include many voice cracks. All of these factors combined give the appearance that the album was either rushed, made under someone elses direction or simply Krunica experimenting with his sound. Ultimately he would rerecord the entire album, giving it a more typical Krunica sound akin to his other albums. The poems would feature original backing tracks and be more filled out and the songs would overall be more creative and have a polished and professional sound. Krunica would rerelease this updated album, first with the same cover design but then change it to a more hand drawn cover with an updated portrait at the bottom. The catalog number of this variant is unique though, as it is the only Grafosaund release not having "фи 5226" or a variant of it as the catalog number. This release would retain the same text on the back cover, but in black and white and remove the previous music credits, to replace it with a generic "Recorded in studio „AR-ton" Belgrade" like on other releases. The tape labels themselves are the same as the first issue. The third and most common variant combines both previous versions and features a large portrait of Krunica with a hand drawn Serb flag and artist name, but also the typography of the first issue. The back cover is the same as the second variant and the tape labels are also the same. | ||
