Singl ploče (1974–1975) (trans. 7-inch singles (1974–1975)) is a compilation album by Yugoslav rock band Bijelo Dugme, released in 1982.
In early 1982, Bijelo Dugme performed in Innsbruck, Austria, at a manifestation conceptualized as a symbolic passing of the torch whereby the Winter Olympic Games last host city (Innsbruck) makes a handover to the next one (Bijelo Dugme's homecity Sarajevo).[1] On their return to Yugoslavia, the band's equipment was seized by the customs, as it was discovered that they had put new equipment into old boxes.[1] The band's record label, Jugoton decided to lend 150,000,000 Yugoslav dinars to Bijelo Dugme, in order to pay the fine.[1] In order to regain part of the money as soon as possible, Jugoton decided to release two compilation albums, Singl ploče (1974–1975) and Singl ploče (1976–1980).[1]
