Label GB

Demon is a UK 80s New Wave label that was founded by Elvis Costello, Andrew Lauder, and the company behind the label in 1980. In 1998, the label was acquired by Music Collection International and merged with its Westside Records operation. Today, Demon forms part of the Demon Music Group Ltd.

The Creation is a UK freakbeat and garage rock group that was formed in 1966. Although they disbanded in 1968, they re-formed in the mid-'80s to continue their musical journey. Known for their unique sound and energetic performances, The Creation has left an indelible mark on the music industry.

With influences from bands like *The Attack*, *Fleur De Lys*, and *The Action*, The Creation created a distinct style that captivated audiences. Their music can be described as a fusion of psychedelic rock, R&B, and pop, making them pioneers of the genre.

Throughout their career, The Creation shared stages with notable acts such as *The Pretty Things*, *The Music Machine*, and *The Electric Prunes*. Their impact on the music scene extended beyond their time together as a band, inspiring future generations of musicians.

Alan McGee was such a big fan of The Creation that he named his record label after the band, and named his own band after one of their songs – Biff Bang Pow. The Creation was formed in 1966 from beat combo The Mark Four, and was quickly signed to a production deal with Shel Talmy, The Who's producer. This limited edition reissue is pressed on purple vinyl, and features the original inner sleeve. The first release was the urgent Making Time, which featured guitarist Eddie Phillips playing his guitar with a violin bow, two years before Jimmy Page started doing so. Whilst very popular in Germany, UK success largely eluded the band, and after a number of non-charting singles and line-up changes, the band broke up in 1968 without ever having released an album. In 1995, following a reunion concert at Harlesden's Mean Fiddler, Alan McGee and Joe Foster managed to persuade the original line-up of Eddie Phillips, lead singer Kenny Pickett, bassist Bob Garner and drummer Jack Jones to get into a studio and record a new album, for release on Creation Records!
