English 1960s mod/psychedelic band led by Kenny Pickett (vocals) and Eddie Phillips (guitar). Noted for distorted guitar riffs, organ-driven slow songs and Eddie Phillips' early use of a violin bow on guitar.

Eddie Phillips played guitar with a violin bow on the video for "Painter Man" (a technique noted in contemporary sources). "Making Time" and "Painter Man" are among the band's best-known singles. "If I Stay Too Long" is a compilation referenced in the review; the reviewer recommends the compilation "Our Music Is Red With Purple Flashes" as more complete.

The single provided review praises The Creation as a leading English psychedelic/mod group, highlighting distorted guitars, organ-led slow songs and inventive techniques such as Eddie Phillips using a violin bow. Key tracks mentioned include Making Time and Painter Man; the reviewed release is a compilation, If I Stay Too Long. The reviewer recommends the larger compilation Our Music Is Red With Purple Flashes for a more complete collection.

For:Fans of 1960s British psychedelia, mod/freakbeat collectors, listeners of vintage rock compilations

 The Creation are one of the best groups in English Psychedelia, with intense distorted guitar riffs creating this destructive sound that is typical of most of their tracks; the other part consists of beautiful slow songs where the voice and organ take the spotlight.
