Reading "The Creation Records Story" put me right off Guy Chadwick.

Creepy breadhead.

Having said that, the book is s'posed to be a load of bollocks, factually.

Can you actually remember particular gigs? I saw metallica in the top hat in october 1988 when I was 13, I have one picture in my head of james hetfield with the white gibson explorer and that's it. I can't remember anything else & I wasn't drinking or anything...I went to see sepultura & kreator in 1989, absolutley no memory what so ever of these gigs.. there's other's aswell...but I can't remember....this is worrying

House of Love are one of those bands whose singles didn't reflect the tone of the albums. I remember hearing Christine and going out and buying the album expecting a bunch of fuzzed-out noisy songs. Disappointed. Ended up loving the album eventually though.

I was caught the exact same way with the Ultra Vivid Scene album and Mercy Seat single.

 

[Stan Bowles]

The bloody village though...boooooo

Man to child, christine and destroy the heart (i think) recorded live at that mcgonagles show were released on a free cassette by whatever label they signed to after creation.
i have it at my mum's somewhere.
That show and the belfast one were reviewed by Steve Lamauq in the melody maker.
I was a little bit obsessed.

Didn't the shins close their show in whelan's with a run through destroy the heart?

That's right. I think I had to send off a postcard to Fontana for it. Black inlay with the three song titles written on the front. Seriously good.

prefuse
I have a good memory that's all.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

the first two singles [plus two other tracks] were compiled on a mini LP also called The House Of Love and released by Rough Trade Germany in late 1988. Deadly photo of them on the cover.
All those Creation tracks ended up on a cool CD round-up in 2001.

that 1990 compilation, A Spy In The House Of Love, rocks too.

Damn it I'll be away. Would love to go that. Brought a mate who was a few years younger to that McGonagles gig which was his first proper gig. We stayed right at the front all the way through the terribel support band and sometime within the first five minutes of the HOL set we were thrown to the back of the room and my mate lost his shoe. Had to wait around afterwards to sort through the debris to find it. Ahhh great days Gay, great days.

 

[Hector Grey]

awww, i have this album on vinyl. haven't listened to it in years. now i simply must put it on when i go home.

 

[magnetize]

i have a bootleg of that mcgonigles show here, can upload if anyones interested.
was a great gig. particularly the dude that kept shouting "duuullluuuxxxxx" at the floppy haired bass player.

A friend of mine lost his shoe in a similar crush at a Wedding Present gig in Chester sometime in 1989. During Take Me.

He didn't find it afterwards.
