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.

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. 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.

Issued in 1967, We Are Paintermen was the only Creation LP released during their original 60s incarnation, and then only in Germany. With the exception of Making Time and Try And Stop Me, this release features the 2016 stereo mixes of Creation classics Through My Eyes, Biff Bang Pow, Can I Join Your Band? and Painter Man (as later covered with huge success by Boney M).
