5.0 out of 5 stars A great opera rock which could be a Deep Purple album. Very amusing.

It is a conceptual album, with great musicians. A very well inspired rock opera based on a child book with similar tittle. Besides it is a Roger Glover's solo carrer, however, could be easily a Deep Purple record. Again, it had a star-studded cast of rock musicians (Dio, Jon Lord, Tony Ashton, Glenn Hughes, Eddie Hardin, Ray Fenwick, John Lawton, Helen Chapelle, Barry St John, Liza Strike, Roger Glover itself and many others). A delightful sound experience.

This is a very English adaptation of an English poem-fairy tale by rock 🎸 musician Roger Glover former Deep Purple bass guitarist. It is excellent if you're interested in rock 🎸 fantasy from the early 70s.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE ULTIMATE ROGER GLOVER BUTTERFLY BALL COLLECTION FROM 1974......................

i guess it is safe to say that this 3 cd clam shell box version is the ultimate version of this novel turned into a musical project by roger glover back in 1974, this i am guessing has emptied the vault regarding everything that was recorded for this project, the remastering cherry red did is phenomenal and makes this sound the best it ever has on cd next to the the japanese carboard sleeve that came out about 10 years ago, this also features little chalk blue that has john lawton on vocals and as you can see by the press release there are tons of alternative mixes and outtakes i never heard before, the radio special with roger that originally aired back in 1974 is included here and this comes with a really nice booklet with all sorts of photos and stuff from the original 1974 press release, the line up here is outstanding with some members of deep purple mark 3 participating in this as well as the late great ronnie james dio, also one of the drummers here was les binks who went on to do 3 records with judas priest in the late 1970s, i got this becouse i am one of those people who seem to like a lot of the deep purple family tree of projects that existed outside of purple back in the day, again this 2018 3 cd box version is the ultimate version of this project, this is the nicest i have ever seen this, this is the ultimate for collectors..............................

3.0 out of 5 stars Butterfly Ball by Roger Glover & guests
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2013

I was looking for a different, earlier recording of this set of lyrics. This one is well done, but just not really what I wanted at all. I found that the earlier version was much more appealing to children, of all ages. I was fooled by the cover illustration being very similar/the same. So it is a fine recording, but not what I was l/am looking for.

An unheralded musical gem. Ronnie James Dio vocals at his best. Glover is yet another gifted composer from the Deep Purple family.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for the Deep Purple lover who thinks he has it all
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021

The musicianship is wonderful with a couple members of Deep Purple at the core of the writing and composition. Fun songs that compile a rock opera of sorts about a fantasy land where different animals make up the personalities of this fictitious world. My only dislike of the album is that it paints a picture of conflict between utopia and dystopia where Marxist ideology is painted to be the utopian hero contrasted against capitalism being an evil dystopian force. If you are offended by Marxism, as I am, this theme takes away from the enjoyment of the album. Other than that, it is a musical work of art if we can listen to it through the lens of fantasy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sadly missing artwork.

I loved this album, when I was young. Sat for hours listening to the music and looking at the amazing artwork, which, I've read, inspired the album. I couldn't afford the vinyl, so bought the CD, which sounds fantastic, but it has no artwork whatsoever, which takes a huge amount of the enjoyment away! Otherwise great.

J'avais acheté ce CD pour faire travailler mes élèves (pardon, mes étudiants) sur l'évolution dans le graphisme et la présentation des aventures du personnage symbolique que peut être une grenouille... A comparer avec Crazyfrog qui, alors, était à la mode.
L'une est cool est insouciante, l'autre provocatrice et violente : cherchez l'évolution... :(
