Creation - Power Surge

The Creation was formed in 1966 from beat combo The Mark Four , and was quickly signed to a production deal with Shel Talmy, The Who's producer . The first release was the urgent Making Time, which featured guitarist Eddie Phillips playing his guitar with a violin bow , two years before Jimmy Page started doing so.Creation Records founder Alan McGee named his label after the band , and named his band Biff Bang Powafter one of their songs. So perhaps it was no surprise when in 1995 he came up with the idea of The Creation recording a song called Creation to be released on the Creation label . In the wake of reunion shows at TheMean Fiddler in 1993 and 1995, the original line up re convened , and the recordings expanded into an album. Power Surge was released in 1996 .The album is pressed on 180 gram vinyl .
