Crvena Jabuka (album)
''Crvena Jabuka'' is the first studio album by Sarajevo-based Bosnian band Crvena Jabuka. It was recorded in January and February 1986, and the official release was 22 March 1986.

After the release of their self-titled debut album, Crvena Jabuka was supposed to go on a concert on 18 September 1986.

This was the album where the band's logo was derived. On the front cover, there is a naked woman with a red apple painted across her buttocks.
