5.0 out of 5 stars Creation - 'We Are Paintermen' (Repertoire), October 25, 2007

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

First released in 1967, this looks to be the Creation's only full-length lp of all new songs. Guess the rest I've seen are compilations. Here, you get the album's twelve 'original' tunes, plus twelve bonus tracks of completely different songs. Very nice! Songs that's sure to keep this CD reissue in my current rotation stack for sometime are "Making Time", the awesome "Through My Eyes", Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone", "Can I Join Your Band", The Leave's "Hey Joe", "Biff Bang Pow", "I Am The Walker" and "Sweet Helen". Should draw in fans of The Action, early Who, Outsiders, Q 65 and Skip Bifferty. Essential British psychedelia. Need I say more? Most highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars biff bang pow, June 4, 2007

By	John T. Velsor "electric revolution" (Wantagh, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this is an incredible peice of music history unknown to almost the entire american record buying public. very comparable with early who small faces and stones and is at the top of the 60's psychedelic/mod/garage heap. the creation were the first to use the violin bow on the guitar, as well as pioneering other musical endeavors such as feedback before hendrix refined and mastered the art of it and even supposedly using a baked potato against the strings(that legend has is was eaten afterward). making time is an absolutley incredible rock song that blew me away, as well as the rest of the album, notably how does it feel to feel, ostrich man...hell there's not a single song on the album that isn't rediculously great. i can't believe these boys aren't as well renowned as there contemporaries. it's a shame to think of the music they may have made if things went the way they should of for them.

I found out about The Creation from an appearence they did on Beat Beat Beat (German TV version of American Bandstand)where the Bass player sang Painterman. But, I saw another version Painterman on Beat Club and that version just wowed me (and I thought the first show I saw was good)! I bought this CD because their music is the kind of music I dig. Oddly enough after buying it, my favorite song they did was Can I Join Your Band? - wish they'd done that one live!
