VINCENT PRICE : THE BUTTERFLY BALL AND GRASSHOPPER FEAST IN CONCERT ALBERT HALL


#WATCHWITHCUSHING! #VINCENTPRICE 'The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast' is a concept album and subsequent live rock opera that was performed live in both 1974 and 1975. The whole album and show was based on the children's poem of a similar title. The album cover design, seen on our banner was from #AlanAldridge's design for a 1973 book based on the poem.


THE ALBUM SPAWNED A HIT SONG, "Love Is All," which reached Number 1 in the Netherlands and #Belgium and has a wonderful #animated promo too! On 16th October 1975, a one-off performance at the #RoyalAlbertHall, #London took place, with #VincentPrice as the story narrator! I have posted an extract of Vincent during the concert and the fabulous song at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE HERE! He does a fabulous job . .please wait for the song at the end. It's worth waiting for and should get your feet tapping and singing along. This was a very firm favourite with my children too....


WHILE DIGGING THROUGH some of the footage of the 'Butterfly Ball' concert, I came across a clip that featured a dance and movement sequence.. and a figure I saw on the page here just yesterday!!! Do you recognise it and where it was featured??? Small world!

VERONICA CARLSON AND PETER CUSHING: THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN


HERE'S A RARELY SEEN  photograph of Peter Cushing and his good friend, Veronica Carlson . . they both appeared in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed in 1969 and The Ghoul in 1975... Veronica was one of a very close selection of people who knew Peter well and stayed close to him for many years, long after their work connections. I am going to be using Sunday's on here and the website to share stories and images of Peter's friends and the friendship they shared . . Next week, we'll be getting know Peter's very close friend, Peter Gray . . .
