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.

Biff! A violin bow scrapes across the strings of a guitarBang! The hiss of a an aerosol can releases paint on to canvasPow! As the violin bow pierces the canvas.Presented here for the first time are the complete Creation studio recordings. All 42 tracks (CD version) have been remastered from the original tapes by Shel Talmy, and given fresh stereo mixes where previously unavailable. New essays by Dean Rudland and Alec Palao tell the band's story and dive into their complete studio sessions. Scores of previously unpublished photographs adorn the accompanying 80 page hard bound book (CD version). We've rounded the whole package out with four tracks by pre-Creation freakbeat quartet the Mark Four, making Action Painting the definitive collection of this legendary UK band.
