Upside Down: the Creation Records Story


Just watched this today. Well done documentary about an upstart indie label you may have heard of...Creation Records.

Creation was home to the likes of Ride, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, the Boo Radleys, Super Furry Animals, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and Oasis. A pretty outstanding roster of bands to say the least.

This doc interviews members of all those bands and more, as well as the founders of the label. It chronicles the labels inception in Glasgow through to its real birth in London, and it follows the bands and people involved from one drug to another. From one year to the next. Always getting bigger and better, until the label finally folded in November 1999.

I've been a big fan of a lot of the bands on the label for years and it was cool to see a professional doc on the label. Very easy to get through it. Check it out for sure.
