Premier leaders of the Mod and Indie scene of the early to late '80s and beyond, Ed Ball's THE TIMES produced some of the best 60s inspired tracks recorded - a string of pre-Britpop Britpop LPs that transcended the line between Mod and a more refined commercial sound, and here on this LP are a selection of my favourites from the early years.
