Cherry Red

<p>Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.</p>

3CD anthology of Edward Ball, a celebration of his work and the perfect introduction to Edward’s world, from the teenage DIY punk and power pop of ‘O’Level and Teenage Filmstars through the indie mod of The Times to Ball’s years at the Creation label. 61 tracks, cherry picked from his wonderfully wide-ranging musical journey.

Highlights include The Times’ smashing 1981 debut single, ‘Red With Purple Flashes’, their 1982 fan favourite, ‘I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape’ inspired by cult TV series The Prisoner, the irresistible 1996 solo near-hit, ‘The Mill Hill Self Hate Club’ and the full 10:35 version of Love Corporation’s ‘Give Me Some Love’ with stunning production by Andy Weatherall from 1991. Plus a previously unreleased gem for the anthology, ‘Song To The Lighthouse’, an out- take from his soundtrack to the 2010 Carol Morley film The Edge.

Edward Ball has approved the box set and has contributed notes in collaboration with Mojo and Record Collector writer Lois Wilson.

The Whaam! label set up by Edward Ball with the Television Personalities’ Dan Treacy and Ball’s own Artpop! label were a direct inspiration for Alan McGee to set up Creation Records who signed Edward in 1988.

Brit Pop era solo albums saw Edward joined by musical friends such as Ride’s Andy Bell, Nick Heyward and members of The Boo Radleys while Ball’s dance and world music influenced project Love Corporation were remixed by Andy Weatherall, Danny Rampling and Monkey Mafia.

Ball also resurrected The Times and Teenage Filmstars monikers at Creation, under the former name Ball melded indie and dance music before Primal Scream’s ‘Screamadelica’, while with the latter he embraced psychedelic noise.
