45th ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF ROGER GLOVER’s FIRST ALBUM.
A Deluxe expanded three CD edition (PURPLEBOX016) of Roger Glover’s charming 1974 conceptual work based on the illustrated book THE BUTTERFLY BALL AND THE GRASSHOPPER'S FEAST. Featuring an astonishing line-up, the album’s subtle and Psychedelic tone belies the Hard Rock royalty nature of its guest list. Alongside a remastered version of the main album, a second disc contains nine demos and alternative mixes, plus the very rare Butterfly Ball Radio Special, a 1974 promo only release where Roger Glover explains the story behind the project. The third disc replicates the hit ''Love Is All'' EP, with Ronnie James Dio on vocals.

Of all the multitudinous highways and byways down which the enterprising Deep Purple collector can travel, none, perhaps, is so surprising as THE BUTTERFLY BALL AND THE GRASSHOPPER'S FEAST, Purple bassist Roger Glover's first "solo" album, and one of the most delightful children's records ever made. Yes, a children's record. In 1973, Glover was approached about creating a musical adaptation of artist Alan Aldridge and poet William Plomer's book of the same name - a commission that surprised him, but which he nevertheless accepted. The book itself is delightful and, while Glover's work is unquestionably more heavily flavored by the near-psychedelia of the illustrations, the spirit of the text is retained as well, to create an album that stands among the few truly successful musical adaptations of an existing story yet committed to vinyl. Although Glover, as the album's premier composer, takes the bulk of the credit for this success, his co-conspirators, too, merit praise. Convening what resembles one of the greatest all-star lineups in heavy metal history Glover is joined by Purple stalwarts David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, future Rainbow frontman Ronnie James Dio, session stars Eddie Hardin and Tony Ashton, soul singer Jimmy Helms, Roxy Music's Eddie Jobson and John Gustafson, and three quarters of funk-rock aspirants Fancy. Each was given his own role to play and the resultant album is a tremendous mishmash of musical styles, from folky balladeering to psychedelic whimsy, but leaning most heavily toward an early-'70s pop/rock vibe. Given the heavily narrative nature of the project, it is best listened to in one session - a handful of tracks certainly exist more to carry the tale than make a musical impact. Highlights, however, leap out from across the platter, with the macabre "Old Blind Mole" and the positively buoyant "Love Is All" the twin extremes around which the action revolves. Gustafson's hard rock "Watch out for the Bat," meanwhile, must surely have induced nightmares within the album's younger fans, while Dio's closing "Homeward" all but predicts the course of arena rock.
