The Creation

Making Time: The Best of the Creation

£9.99

Released: 18th March 2022. For a band that never achieved much chart success in their native Britain, The Creation is one of the most paradoxically enduring of British combos to emerge in the furiously creative mid-sixties. Their recordings from their 1966-1968 heyday are not numerous, but they have become the archetype 'cult' band, their music being discovered, loved and admired by successive generations of fans over the last half-century or so. This 34-track, 2CD set includes the band's '60s recordings, plus (for the first time on a 'Best Of' compilation) highlights from their studio reunions in 1987 and 1996, along with full annotation by Alan Robinson. With photos from his own archive, the design and artwork are by sleeve design legend Phil Smee.
