about

While still only a few years old as a band, Special EFX (Chieli Minucci & George Jinda) performed at the famous Petofi Csarnok in Budapest, Hungary on 2 occasions in the early 1990s. Originally recorded to analogue tape, the recordings on this CD were compiled from both of those events, now transferred to digital compact disc. Being a native Hungarian, these were especially significant concerts for George Jinda, as well as his writing partner, and our touring keyboardist at the time, the legendary Bela "Szakcsi" Lakatos. Actually, this was Szakcsi's first time performing with the band on stage. In the spirit of Special EFX's artistic direction, much of the music here was improvised, especially the duets. The audience turn out and reception was more than we could have hoped for. Sadly both George and Szakcsi are no longer with us, but their memory lives on here through their music ~


Recorded in Budapest at the Petőfi Csarnok on 12/11/1990 and 2/12/1992
