In 1966 they are going as young chess players to England with their big fan Nikola - as chess players they didn't have many problems to get visa's for U.K. There they play few gigs - mixing famous beat and Yugoslav folk covers. Here is their second single "Humoreska".
In the beginning they played on parties. Beat music was taboo in early 60s for many radio programs. So, they made beat covers of 4 classical music parts just to be played on radio. Their friend and big fan - Nikola Karaklajic brought those recordings to Holland. Fontana put it out as 7"EP of Golden Boys. Next year the same record comes out in Yugoslavia. Very soon they become popular and their next single is sold out in 100000 copies. Two singles from 1966 are available on blog today, "Humoreska" and "Čudna devojka".
