The collection includes songs performed by leading singers of the time, and some compositions, such as Vino i gitare, Dosta je, Dojdi and Na deževen dan, have remained permanently associated with the history of the Opatija Festival.
The publication provides an insight into the diversity of Yugoslav pop music of the time, bringing together authors and performers from Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia. In addition to its musical value, the book has significant documentary and collector's value, as it testifies to the period when Opatija was the center of the festival and recording scene.
