Roger Glover – The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshoppers Feast (Deluxe Edition) (2018)
A deluxe 3 CD edition 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 including Michael Giles, Eddie Jobson, David Coverdale, Ronnie James Dio, Tony Ashton, Glenn Hughes, John Lawton and more, 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.
