The Ballroom

The Ballroom was a mid-60s band led by legendary sunshine pop producer Curt Boettcher. The credited group was a quartet, featuring Sandy Salisbury, Michele O'Malley, and Jim Bell, though the group was embellished by studio musicians. They were signed to Warner Bros. in 1966, and they recorded an album, which was rejected for release. Some of the material was later re-mixed or re-recorded altogether and included on the Sagittarius album Present Tense, and some complete tracks made it onto The Millennium's album Begin with re-recorded vocals, though the entire album was finally released on The Millennium compilation Magic Time. Curt Boettcher and Sandy Salisbury would later be part of The Millennium, and Michele O'Malley would release an obscure solo album under her first name in 1969, entitled Saturn Rings.
