In 1973, Jonathan Cape Ltd published a children's book called "The Butterfly Ball and Grasshopper's Feast". The book then prompted this jubilant live production of The Butterfly Ball that took place at the Royal Albert Hall on October 16, 1975. This performance, magically narrated by Vincent Price, was a benefit for Bud Flanagan's Leukemia Fund and Action Research for the Crippled Child. Roger Glover, who recently departed from Deep Purple was able to get most of the artists who had taken part in the studio recordings to perform. Featuring: Ian Gillan, Twiggy, Tony Ashton, Helen Chapelle, David Coverdale, John Gustafson, Eddie Hardin, Glenn Hughes, Earl Jordan and more.
