[will this do?]

I see the usual Grauniad rigour has been applied to tha caption writers' effort...and no mention of the mooted box sets.

Cheers though, obviously more than we've heard from the horses mouth for a good long while (especially the REAL reason Creation nearly went for an early bath).

Please elaborate...

There are two sides to every story but after reading the(rather large) Creation Records story the truth seems to be more of what Kevin Shields says in that interview about why Creation nearly went down. Alan McGee went nuts too. In a HUGE way.

Is the Creation story available in book format? Obviously I've heard lots, but would be interested in reading the story from beginning to end.

Type "alan mcgee" into ebay-someone's selling a copy for about £5.

There are a couple Creation books, the best by far is "The Creation Records Story: My Magpie Eyes Are Hungry for the Prize", which is over 700 pages long, and covers pretty much everything.

Thanks both of you! I'll be sure to track this down.
