THE CREATION - We Are Paintermen (Half-Speed Master Edition) - LP - 180g Vinyl

LP - 180g Black Vinyl in outer sleeve with obi strip and poly-lined inner sleeve, plus 4-page insert. Expertly mastered by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering from the original tapes.

The Creation was formed in 1966 from beat combo The Mark Four, and was quickly signed to a production deal with Shel Talmy, The Who’s producer. The first release was the urgent “Making Time”, which featured guitarist Eddie Phillips playing his guitar with a violin bow, two years before Jimmy Page started doing so. Also featured are “Biff Bang Pow”, and “Painter Man”, a hit in Germany, and later covered by Boney M.

Whilst very popular in Germany and Denmark, UK success largely eluded the band, and the band broke up in 1968 without ever having released an album in the UK. Alan McGee named his record label after the band, and even named his band after the song “Biff Bang Pow”.

• This new edition has been expertly mastered by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering from the original tapes using precision half-speed mastering.

• Half-speed mastering is a vinyl cutting technique that improves groove accuracy and transient information creating an incredibly detailed stereo image with a natural high frequency response.

• Presented in the Danish LP sleeve with the original liner note, pressed on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl, featuring an obi strip and housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve, with all the credits and photos on the 4 page insert.
