http://andrewdarlington.blogspot.fr/2012/04/cd-review-creation-our-music-is-red.html So who gives a damn about Creation – yet another lesser mid-sixties band with two minor chart entries? Ask Jimmy Page. He requisitioned Eddie Phillips tetchy-rasping violin-bow droning Gibson 335-guitar technique at the very inception of Led Zeppelin via his stint with the Yardbirds.
Ask the Sex Pistols. John Lydon named Creation’s “Life Is Just Beginning” as one of his favourite singles on a July 1977 Capitol Radio interview. Ask Ron Wood, John Dalton of the Kinks, or Kim Gardner of Ashton Gardner and Dyke, they all served briefly in the Creation line-up. Ask Shel Talmy, producer, co-conspirator and some would say creator of the Kinks and the Who. He always talked of Creation with high regard.
Ask Raw Records who reissued a double-‘A’-side single of Creation’s “Making Time” c/w “Painter Man” in the midst of the Punk explosion, and a decade after their initial vinyl incarnation. They did not seem out of time. Then Alan McGee not only used the group’s name to title his influential new record label in 1983, but was even instrumental in reforming Creation to record new material for his label.
