The images used within this video are taken from photos of my personal vinyl LP jacket/cover/labels, original Canadian pressing; Fireballet - "Night On Bald Mountain" (1975) Passport Records 9167 98010, and my US pressing of Fireballet's "Two Tu", Passport Records PPSD 98016.

"Fireballet' began in New Jersey as The Fireball Kids. They marked the American emergence of bands that would at least attempt to contend with the classical vocabulary of European prog counterparts like Emerson Lake and Palmer, Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant. Moreover, the band boasted the production talents of a bona-fide founding father of prog rock: Ian McDonald, late of King Crimson and later to be of Foreigner. Armed with two talented keyboardists, Fireballet took their orchestral rock quite seriously; Mussorgsky and Debussy both crop up in their 1975 debut album. Their follow-up the next year, "Two Too," was not as well received, despite an amusing cover photo of the band dressed as ballerinas. The band dissolved soon afterwards. Bryan Howe (nee Brian Hough) and Jim Como continued to play together at a yearly party for a while, and there's even some talk of reissuing the albums as cherried-out CDs, but in the meantime the lack of activity has caused the band to fall into obscurity.
