Remember the CD version of this? Well, there’s is now an LP version too. But this is The Creation – Creation Theory limited edition vinyl box set.
There are actually two versions, but it’s the limited edition I’m focusing on as there are just 500 of these in existence worldwide and as such, you will need to act fast if you want one in your collection.
The vinyl box has been designed by Phil Smee and the album sleeves feature photos from his collection. The four LPs include all of The Creation’s legendary recordings for Shel Talmy (the 2016 stereo mixes appear on LP for the first time), ‘We Are Paintermen’ replicates the 1966 German LP (the only Creation album released anywhere in the 60s) while ‘How Does It Feel To Feel’ rounds up the remainder of the 60s recordings, the 1987 album ‘Psychedelic Rose’ is here, as is the 1996 Creation Records album ‘Power Surge’.
All the track listings are at the end of this article.
The Creation Theory limited edition vinyl boxes are coloured vinyl and an Amazon exclusive a run of just 500 copies. That looks to be the one to go for. When it sells out, there will be a standard vinyl version available too.
Both are now available to pre-order, with the coloured vinyl obviously the one to have. It costs the same as the standard version, which is £46.65. The release date is 1st June 2018 but preorders are now open if you want to secure one of the 500 Creation Theory limited edition vinyl boxes.
