Back in 2001 when Brit Pop ruled, and I was still mildly obsessed with Oasis, I got my hands on an incredible bio of the label who signed my favourite band.

The Creation Records Story: My Magpie Eyes Are Hungry For The Prize was 795 pages of very detailed history of Creation Records, one of the greatest indie music labels of all time. Founded in 1983, Creation proudly became the home of the UK music anti-establishment. I scored my copy just before Christmas, and between Christmas and New Year I plowed through the book, nearly breaking my hand holding it up, and reminiscing with my own Creation Records soundtrack as I read the highs and the horrors of this much loved label. Oasis, Ride, Primal Scream, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Teenage Fanclub, Boo Radleys all came to life through the book and my stereo simultaneously.

Now comes the Creation Records documentary. So, as I watch the trailer and search for the release date, I find myself thinking about the playlist I’ll create to accompany this treat.
