Times: This Is London, CD

• What do the Creation label, Domino Records, the TV Personalities 2006 album "My Dark Places" and 90s solo hits such as 'The Mill Hill Self Hate Club' & 'Love Is Blue' have in common?
Why, Edward Ball, of course!

• From his recordings as the Times on imprint Artpop! (with Geoff Travis's blessing through Rough Trade) to his part in Creation Records triumvirate of McGee (Poptones), Green (Witchita) & Ball, as label spokesman and releasing 30-odd albums under various guises, Edward Ball’s ability to create lasting pop gems is beyond question. And with lifelong buddy Daniel Treacy as the TV Personalities, he still lurks within the contemporary zeitgeist, whilst currently recording demos for Domino records...

• The Times’ “This Is London” was recorded in 1983 and is re-issued here with seven bonus tracks. This album is a dream for many collectors and fans.
