Pre-history: The Mark Four (1963-1966)

Most of the members of what would eventually become The Creation were initially members of The Mark Four, a British beat group based in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.[3] By late 1963 The Mark Four was a quintet consisting of Kenny Pickett (vocals), Eddie Phillips (guitars), Mick "Spud" Thompson (rhythm guitars), John Dalton (bass), and Jack Jones (drums).[3] This line-up played regularly in the UK and in Germany before issuing two non-charting singles for Mercury Records in 1964.

Dalton then left the band, later joining The Kinks as a replacement for Pete Quaife, and was replaced by new bassist Tony Cooke. Around the same time, Thompson left the band and was not replaced. This Mark Four line-up issued two further non-charting singles: "Hurt Me (If You Will)" (Decca, August 1965) and "Work All Day (Sleep All Night)" (Fontana, February 1966).

In April 1966, the group signed a management deal with Tony Stratton-Smith. He promptly suggested replacing Cooke with new bassist Bob Garner (previously of the Tony Sheridan Band),[3] and a name change. The band took him up on both suggestions: it was Pickett who came up with the name The Creation, based on a reference he found in a book of Russian poetry.[citation needed]

[edit] Initial success (1966)

The band's style, produced by Shel Talmy was, at this point, loud pop art, similar to early records by The Who.[3]. Their first single, "Making Time", was a Pickett/Phillips original. Released in June 1966, it reached #49 on the UK chart.[1] Almost immediately thereafter, The Creation suffered another line-up change when Jack Jones was fired and replaced by new drummer Dave Preston. However, the band was unsatisfied with Preston's live work,[citation needed] and in less than three weeks Jones was asked back and rejoined the group.

Their next single, October 1966's "Painter Man", became their biggest hit, reaching #36 UK[1] and the top 10 in Germany. The track featured Phillips playing his electric guitar with a violin bow. He was reputedly the first guitarist to use this technique, although Jimmy Page later did it to greater acclaim.[4]

Please note: I have started grading down now as some buyers don't seem to understand the 50 year old UK record grading system!!

All my records are Test Played on a Thorens Deck + I have been purchasing records for over 45 years and records are graded as heard and looks.

If you do have a problem a full refund is offered but the record MUST be returned "First Class Recorded ( with Tracking Number given to me )" in the same packaging I supply or similar quality Within 14 days of auction end date !

AS PER MY RETURNS POLICY!!

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality, some very very slight surface marks and the odd slight scratch may be seen. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

All records are posted in 7" card mailers with a card stiffener. I keep proof of postage and I am not responsible for any losses or breakages in the post.

SHIPPING: Kindly note that the STAMP cost that appears on the label outside of a package absolutely does NOT represent the actual cost of shipping an item!!! For example, each item I sell is carefully packaged with factory-cut cardboard stiffeners either side and (to ensure the item arrives in the condition it leaves) shipped individually in a brand new record mailer; unlike some other sellers I do NOT use poor packaging with scrap cardboard - or worse still NO cardboard - inside!

I cannot accept any responsibility for payments/items lost or damaged and not covered by adequate insurance. If you do use PayPal through the eBay checkout, the consequence of PayPal's rigid conditions is that all items must be sent by an adequately insured shipping method with proof of delivery; no exceptions. So, for UK buyers that will mean Recorded Delivery up to a value of £46 and For overseas buyers it will mean International Signed-For Airmail for any value.

PAYMENT WITHIN 4 DAYS PLEASE

(OR RESOLUTION CENTRE WILL KICK IN, SORRY BUT SOME BIDDERS DON'T PAY)

OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE!!! POST/PACKING = £10 RECORDED

Notes on Postage I dont make anything from postage (please remember pay pal takes commision on the total amount including postage ).
