The Creation, what a group, never released an album, had a constantly changing line up and yet produced a collection of singles most other bands of the same period (bar the Beatles) would have been proud of. Making Time and How Does It Feel... are the real highlights of this compilation but there are plenty of others who compete closely, Painter Man and Biff Bang Pow. Overall a wonderful, quirky sometimes vicious album in which all the songs (even the few slow, thoughtful ones) seem to be performed by a band with a twisted smile and a slightly manic view of the world. Compare with their Freakbeat competitors of the same period, The Who, and they come out more than favourably. Buy this album! Oh...., and try and hear the points where the guitar is played with a violin bow (a prototype Jimmy Page)>

AAAAAGHHH!! The Creation come booming out of your speakers via this superbly compiled and value for cash CD. They looked cool, detested each other, experimented with all kinds of (for it's time) groundbreaking stuff, wrote instantly memorable 3 minute classics and....got absolutely nowhere for their bother!!
"Making Time" is the obvious hit here with it's clanging riff, violin bow solo (I wonder if anyone has tried to play the violin with a plectrum) and straight to the point lyrics. It is deservedly a recognised "mod classic" now and has stood the test of time with ease. Eddie Phillips has to go down as one of the sharpest dressed and underrated guitarists ever, executing his innovations on other classics here namely "Biff! Bang! Pow!" alongside the artschool disillusionment echoed in "Painterman", (which thanks to Boney M packs em' in at backstreet Karoke bars the length and breadth of the country)! "How Does It Feel" rattles your fillings and boasts one of the best intros and spontaneous guitar solos I have ever heard (Ride actually did a quite faithful cover of this a few years back which is proof enough that you can't kill a good song!) and not forgetting the simplicity of "Try and Stop Me", as elementary a lesson in the three minute pop song as "I Can't Explain" was for The Who. Uncomplicated, catchy and in the case of "Through My Eyes", malevolently beautiful. The Creation had so many facets.
The line up changed often and at one point included future Face and Stone Ronnie Wood. The single "Midway Down", which features the fuzzed up annihilation of the aforementioned Mr Wood, is a class tune telling the story of a Victorian style travelling circus whilst the surprisingly adept cover of "Hey Joe" portrays a musical capability often overlooked when under scrutiny by the trainspotters. There is of course the odd dud here. "Bonie Maronie" is simply nothing less than an awful choice of cover version, as is "Like A Rolling Stone" which I would class as being remembered predominantly as the moment Dylan went electric rather than for being a ground breaking tune...maybe you had to be there. Who cares?
The Creation have been classed as also rans, the band who perhaps "should have but never" and even Shel Talmy's replacements for The Who . Rubbish. If you like your bands in the classic four piece bass, guitar, drums and vocals style then this is a must for you. And thankfully at least a dozen of the selections here transcend the sour taste in the mouth left behind by a bunch of young mods who deserved so much more than the often tepid accolade they have been afforded in the present day.

I haven't heard these songs for 25 years, when I was first introduced to The Creation by a huge Eddie Phillips fan. While recently updating my music collection I came across an old cassette by them. Although I hadn't completely forgotten them I had forgotten the impact some of these songs had on me then. Cool Jerk, How Does It Feel & Making Time especially, but also Painter Man, Ostrich Man, Life Is Just Beginning and Nightmares. I love their version of Bony Maronie which I'd never heard before.
Regardless of whatever was going on within the band these songs stand right up there with the best of the mid 60s.
This is a must have addition, not just to your 60s collection, but your whole music collection.
I now get Eddie Phillips....

The Creation
This CD arrived in good time and in good condition. This CD takes me back to some rare 1960s tracks.

Inspiration From The Gods
More than any other band of the 60's The Creation inspired me to form my own band. Their music was so punchy, simple, direct. Why were they never as big in the UK as Europe? Read more

60's guitar music at its best
If you like the Kinks, Small Faces or the Who then you're bound to like this. Great pop music played with the passion and youthful vigour which most bands today can only dream of. Read more

Being Creative...
With its colourful title and arty, paint-splash cover, I was expecting this to be a psychedelic album, but it isn't. Read more

Violin bowing the guitar pre-Jimmy Page.
No, that's not their only claim to fame. The Creation, should they have been able to continue the spirit of the first 4 tracks on here, would have been as big as perhaps The Who. Read more

Creative brutality
I don't know what became of the members of this band but it wouldn't surprise me to hear that they'd gone into the demolition business. Read more
