Upside Down - The story of Creation Records

Way, way before Oasis existed, Creation Records, for almost a decade, was the most important UK based record label. For instance, in 1991 Creation were responsible for the release of Loveless and Screamadelica, two records which closed the book on the 1980's and defined a decade still in its infancy. It was a label driven as much by Alan McGee's hubris as it was the breathtaking array of seminal bands he assembled. At various stages the label was home to Primal Scream, The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, The Boo Radleys, Felt, The House of Love, Teenage Fanclub and, er, 3 Colours Red.
