Yesterday, Eddie Phillips (Creation guitarist and a true musical hero/ influence of mine) celebrated a birthday and I do believe it is apropos to keep the celebration going for one more day.
This single combines the Creation's amazing beat tendencies and mixes in with the ever present '66/'67 orchestrated sounds ala Sgt Pepper/ Pet Sounds and yields glorious results.
This song showed a remarkable progression in the group's sound (while remaining true to their roots) and is a lost classic of the time.
from 1967...
THE CREATION- LIFE IS JUST BEGINNING
promo! nice. is that rarer than stock on this title?
ReplyDeleteI would say the stock copy is rarer by far. Singles that didn't sell well are almost always more common than stock. Some records sold so poorly that if someone ordered a particula record in a shop they would sometimes receive a promo! Sometimes the "not for sale" would be scratched out.
ReplyDeleteI've got the english release on polydor but prefer the B side, 'through my eyes'. is that the same on the US version too?
ReplyDeletePhil the US b-side is "How Does It Feel To Feel"
