Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

 "Maximum R&B," in the style of The Who,
The Creation were one of the best groups in the 60's British Invasion.

Thrust by the earth-shaking "Making Time, the Lp, "We Are Paintermen" thrashes its way across a dozen tracks, defining the 'freakbeat' sound of the UK 60's rock scene in the process.
Contains the original printed inner sleeve  
BOOMING WIDE RANGE SOUND THROUGHOUT ~ Don't let the opening "Cool Jerk" all-timer 'hit' trick you: nine of these twelve songs are originals, are solid, and excellent!

One of the best freakbeat/garage/mod albums from the 60s. Every track is a winner. If you like The Who’s early days, The Move, Small Faces, etc. ~ check this out ASAP!
The CREATION's style, produced by Shel Talmy, was loud art pop, similar to early records by The Who. In fact Pete Townshend was in the CREATION'S fan club.
Their first single, "Making Time", featuring guitarist Eddie Phillips playing his electric guitar with 'windmill' arm theatrics and a violin bow. (He was reputedly the first guitarist to use this technique.) Released in June 1966 it reached No. 49 on the UK chart.
Their next single, October 1967's "Painter Man", became their biggest hit, reaching No. 36 UK and the top 10 in Germany. The Creation took their rock art experimentation slightly further when, during live performances of "Painter Man, and sometimes their singer Kenny Pickett would spray-paint a canvas during their concerts before a member of the road crew would set fire to the artwork on stage 

THE CREATION specialized in writing miraculously catchy garage rock n' roll. Their hallmark is their rolling thunder sound with guitar, bass and drums working in tandem to provide a solid, reverberating, resonant backbone to the irresistible jangle that sat up font giving the songs both a bone-shaking rawness and an irresistible 'Mod rocker' charm.
