Ball and Pivot were a self-described “glam-rock” band in the early 80s in Boston, featuring Tom Hauck, B Wilkinson, and Paul Caruso (all of whom had also played in The Atlantics). I picked up this record on the basis of that description and the cover at Island Records on Martha’s Vineyard. You can find more of their music on bandcamp: Ball and Pivot, including a compilation released in 2010 of studio tracks from 1985-1987.
This was the first release on Z Club Records, the only other one I can find being their 7″ single “Down.” It was recorded/engineered at Syncro Sound in Boston’s back bay, which was owned by The Cars
