THE CREATION

Making Time

UK 7" Single released on Raw Records in 1977. Picture sleeve.

The Creation were an English freakbeat band, formed in 1966. The most popular Creation song was "Painter Man", which made the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart in late 1966, and reached #8 in the German chart in April 1967. Guitarist Eddie Phillips described their sound as "Our music is red – with purple flashes."

Kenny Pickett, Eddie Phillips, Mick Thompson and Jack Jones had previously been in The Mark Four with John Dalton, who left the band to join The Kinks as a replacement for Pete Quaife. Bob Garner had previously been in the Tony Sheridan Band. Their style was originally loud pop art, similar to The Kinks and The Who, but developed into a more typically mid 1960s psychedelic rock sound, which has been retroactively described as freakbeat. Their song "Painter Man" featured Phillips playing his electric guitar with a violin bow. They took their pop art experimentation slightly further when Pickett would spray-paint a canvas during their concerts, before a member of the road crew would set light to artwork on stage.

Most of their singles were issued in the UK, but after "Making Time" and "Painter Man", they had no further hits.

In early 1967, Pickett was ousted and replaced by bass player Garner as lead vocalist. Kim Gardner from The Birds came in on bass. The band broke up in 1967, but Jones formed a new line-up, bringing back Pickett as singer. After a while, Gardner returned as bass player and brought in his old bandmate from The Birds, Ronnie Wood on guitar. This line-up recorded just one single, "For All That I Am", after which the band folded.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SEVEN (7) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
