Crystal Vale is headed by Bill Kimber and Jerry Howson who are Executive Producers of The Wanderers. Bill Kimber is well known in music entertainment dating back to when he began as General Manager of Screen Gems Columbia Music. He represented writers such as Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Barry Mann and Gerry Goffin, and worked with successful pop acts including The Bay City Rollers, Hello and Helen Shapiro. Kimber then joined the A&R team of RCA Records and after achieving ten top ten hits, including three number 1 hits with acts including Bucks Fizz, Kate Robbins, Sugar Minott, Landscape and Kenny Everett. He was promoted to Divisional Director of A&R and Music Publishing and his success continued with signings such as The Eurythmics, who were perhaps the biggest, Clannad, Bow Wow Wow, Joboxers and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's fabulous "Hooked On Classics" package. Kimber was handed control of RCA's music publishing division and signed The Eurythmics (giving RCA its first UK signed copyright to reach number 1 in the US charts with "Sweet Dreams"). Subsequently the publishing company attained top three corporate publisher status, and is now, since RCA's take-over by the Berttlesmann Group, BMG Music. Kimber then went on to form the Big Wave Group, with which he had immediate worldwide success with Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers, achieving 3 consecutive number one placings in UK and European charts with the first three singles, as well as going to number one with the first album in every European territory.
