Prva plovidba (trans. The First Sail) is the debut studio album from Serbian and Yugoslav rock band Galija, released in 1979.

Background

Galija was formed in Niš in 1977 by promising singer-songwriter Nenad Milosavljević and the members of the band Dva Lustera (Two Chandeliers).[1] Following appearances at several prominent Yugoslav music festivals–including winning the first place at Gitarijada festival in Zaječar–the group signed a contract with PGP-RTB record label and entered the studio to record their debut album.[1] Four out of seven album tracks featured lyrics written by Nenad Milosavljević's brother Predrag Milosavljević, who also appeared on the album as guest vocalist.[2] Predrag Milosavljević would become the group's official member with the release of the band's second album Druga plovidba (The Second Sail) in 1980.[1] Prva plovidba is the band's only album recorded with guitarist Goran Ljubisavljević, bass guitarist Predrag Branković and keyboardist Ljubodrag Vukadinović, who would, following the band's appearance at 1979 Rock Spectacle festival at Belgrade's JNA Stadium, be replaced by Dušan Radivojević, Zoran "Čupa" Radosavljević and Nebojša Marković respectively.[1]
