Description

Over a quarter of a century since it began and a decade after it folded, this is the definitive film about Creation Records, one of the world's most successful and colourful independent labels. This is the story of the rock 'n' roll dream and its accompanying nightmares. Millions of sales on both sides of the Atlantic, near bankruptcy, pills, thrills, spats, prats, success, excess, pick me ups, breakdowns and of course some of THE defining music of the late 20th Century. This is the definitive and fully authorised story of the UK's most inspired and dissolute label, from the Jesus and the Mary Chain at the Living Room to Oasis at Knebworth.

    Was looking forward to this and enjoyed the Gallagher humor and arrogance The story though was not as compelling to mr as the factory records movie 24 hour party people. Close but no cigar.

    Not music mad at all but found this really interesting. A testament to the pursuit of passion over money - worth watching if you like music or just a good documentary
  • Fantastic !!

    Fantastic Film, Really gave a great insight into Creation and the various trials and tribulations but above all the Music !!! Some amazing bands with some amazing songs all born from one of the important musical labels ever. A great insight into the madness and geniius of McGee. A must watch for any fan who appreciates great music !!!!!
