"November 1991. Creation Records release Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. Three months later, Creation Records release Star by Teenage Filmstars. Rumoured to have been recorded by an aggregation of various Teenage Fanclubbers and Bloody Valentiners, this mysterious album had journalists and pop stars from Britain and America fascinated by its sound. Wherever My Bloody Valentine have roared throughout the universe, the Teenage Filmstars echo has followed, but not blindly. Where the MBV sound is the well-controlled experiment from the lab, the Teenage Filmstars set their rocket to unknown planets -- what is Star? An alchemist's philosophy stone thrown surreptitiously into space? It was in fact, the work of one Edward Ball, in between label duties for Creation Records and recording for the label. 'The Master Of Brinkmanship,' as one taste maker of the time described him. This reissue features four previously unreleased extra tracks, including an early version of Edward Ball's hit single Love Is Blue(!). The 16-page booklet contains a dissertation of Creation period Edward Ball '88 to '91 by Edward Ball 2008, with full production notes and anecdotes about the label. Lavishly illustrated throughout."

"A complete collection of the early works of Edward Ball, including his chums Daniel Treacy and Joseph Foster. Recording ground breaking DIY singles together as the TV Personalities, O Level and the Teenage Filmstars in the late '70s, this triumvirate of pop entrepreneurs later launched or co-founded the Whaam!, Artpop!, Creation and Revola labels -- quite literally inventing a syndicate of sound and ideas that reverberated gently throughout the '80s, violently throughout the '90s and inescapably today. Including the original released recordings of the We Love Malcolm EP as O Level, the Teenage Filmstars singles Cloud Over Liverpool and I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape, this Artpop! package doesn't disappoint, reissuing the original Revola compilation from 1992, plus previously unavailable extra tracks. Also containing extensive recording documentation, quotes from all involved and a plethora of pictures."
