Borovo Selo was released when the Croatian war was underway and counts as one of the first cassettes made during the conflict. It was released sometime in mid-to-late 1991 by Diskos. It is Branko Marinković's first studio album and thematizes the conflict in Borovo Selo, as well as the uprisings of Serbs in the rest of Croatia.

There are two known issues of the cassette. The first issue was printed by GIP Beograd in 1991 and has a faded cover made out of thick cardstock with a reflective gold print and high audio quality. The second issue uses thinner paper, has more vibrant colors but also uses non-reflective gold print with the audio quality also being high but heavily saturated.

On November 10, 2020, the album was released on Youtube via the topic feature and digital music streaming services. The j-card used as the cover image comes from the scan provided on the music collecting site Discogs. The cover is digitally altered as the current rights holder is MINT Production. With the current state of rights within the war music genre, however, the legitimacy of the rights are questionable at best. The source of the audio used for the upload is unknown.
