Mini was founded in 1968 by vocalist and flutist Ádám Török in Budapest. In the beginning they played early Jethro Tull-like music. In the early seventies they became jazzier. Along with Syrius, they were a most popular underground band in Hungary. Their first album was released in 1978, and features space rock, jazz rock, and soft Camel-like tracks too. There is no guitar, but there is much flute, Fender Rhodes, floating string synth and a very precise rhythm section. The second album, ''Úton a föld felé'', was released in 1979, and is similar to the first one. The next album, released in 1983, was named ''Jungle''. This product was easier and lighter. Ádám Török disbanded the Mini in 1984 and began to start other projects…

Mini, perhaps the longest standing Hungarian progressive rock band, was founded in 1968 and, excluding a period of inactivity in the 80s through the 90s, still exists. After the first few years of covering international rhythm and blues and progressive rock hits, Mini gradually developed their own repertoire. By 1972 they were already one of the finest local progressive acts, using the striking combination of the flute, Hammond and bass. It may sound strange, but, compared to other artists, they were quite fortunate to have an opportunity to record in a professional environment. "Fruit Pebbles" compiles all the fine tracks from this early, classic period.

Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish rock band formed in 1979. They were the first Finnish band to chart in the UK and they were also popular in Japan. The band broke up in June 1985 after the drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley had died in a car accident during their first US tour in December 1984. Original vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 with a new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009. Although musically closer to traditional rock n' roll and punk, Hanoi Rocks have been cited as a major influence in the glam metal genre for bands such as Guns N' Roses, Skid Row and Poison…
