B.A.L.L. ‎– (Four) Hardball (LP) / Don Fleming

B.A.L.L. (pronounced "ball") were an American alternative rock band from New York City, formed in 1987. The band was formed by Don Fleming, Kramer, David Licht and Jay Spiegel. The band disintegrated in 1990, its members pursuing separate projects.

Strangely enough, in the midst of a reportedly acrimonious breakup, the band (which Fleming later reassembled, steering clear of Kramer, as Gumball) completed its best album, Four (Hardball). Side One offers fully fleshed-out, fast, funny and energetic songs, while the flip comprises a trash suite of sorts, with five grunge-guitar-heaven instrumentals. (It’s likely these were meant to be complete vocal numbers and that Fleming quit before finishing them, but that’s not how it sounds.)
