The Creation / Creation Theory

Sixties English rock band The Creation‘s slightly chaotic career is celebrated in Creation Theory, a new five-disc deluxe set coming in April.

Creation Theory is a chronological history of the influential band that pulls together early singles (when they still performed under the moniker ‘The Mark Four’), the legendary recordings for Shel Talmy (in both mono and brand new stereo mixes), the 1987 ‘reunion’ album/sessions (released belatedly as Psychedelic Rose in 2004) and finally Power Surge, the album the original line-up recorded for Alan McGee’s Creation Records (named after the band) in 1996.

In addition to the four discs of audio, a DVD features a lengthy new interview with guitarist Eddie Phillips and various live performances, including appearances on the legendary German 60s TV show Beat Beat Beat.

A limited edition (500 only) Amazon exclusive version of Creation Theory (no price premium at present!) comes with a numbered signed certificate of authenticity by legendary guitarist Eddie Phillips. Update: Exclusive now sold out.

Creation Theory will be released on 28 April 2017
