"In other news -- We are looking for a star, a singer and all 'round cool frontman for a brand new project that an ex-Creation Records superstar is recording for Poptones. Do you know of someone that would be perfect for this? Let us know by sending an email to XXX"

weirder and weirder.

ahh c'mon .. its gotta be a new Ed Ball 'project'.

surely its time for Alan M to give his long standing mate yet another pop at the cherry.

did Creation ever go down as the indicated with 5 solo Ed Ball albums in the end as i seem to remember being declared somewhere ..

dont bother digging it out, lots of cheesy pop-italio house that dated really badly within a matter of hours of it being released.

Ed Ball,

not counting the "Times" album "Pirate radio thingy" or the "John McGee Orchestra" one (actually, just Ed Ball backing tracks)
