| Born
in Chelsea in 1959. The story of Ed Ball deserves a book in itself.
Ed Ball's entry into the music business came while he was still
at Chelsea's Brompton Oratory in 1977. With schoolmates Dan Treacy
and Joe Foster (who now runs Creation's reissue offshoot Rev Ola),
he recorded a tribute to the manager of the Sex Pistols, We
Love You Malcolm, under the guise of The O-Level. That trio
also formed the pioneering pop-punk outfit Television Personalities
(whose debut EP Part Time Punks sold 50,000 copies), before Ball
launched groups such as Teenage Filmstars and The Times, as well
as carrying out a dizzying variety of solo projects. |
