This split album, released by Galerija Srecna nova umetnost SKC, is the first former Yugoslav album, released under an independent record label.

Background

During early 1982, the two bands featuring the same lineup, Profili Profili and Kazimirov Kazneni Korpus, performed at the Ljubljana band Laibach art exhibition, at the gallery of the Belgrade SKC. At the performance, the band made a decision to record the material they have been performing, and within the following three days, the band worked at the Banovo Brdo NGM studio. The album recording cost the band 15.000 Yugoslav dinars, which was rated the album a low-budget release, and was released under the independent record label Galerija Srecna nova umetnost SKC, making it the first independent music release in Yugoslavia. Kazimirov Kazneni Korpus / Profili Profili, released in March 1982, featured five versions of the Profili Profili song "Ventilatori" ("Ventilators"), and five versions of the Kazimirov Kazneni Korpus song "Paranoidno šizoidne devojke" ("Paranoid schizophrenic girls"). Originally released in a hundred copies, with each copy having a different album cover, soon after the release went out of print, and in the following month the band released a hundred more copies, which were quickly sold out. Today the album is considered a rarity and a collector's item.
