A very clean EX+/EX+ first pressing of The Creation’s second and final album, The Best of The Creation, on the German Vogue/Pop Schallplatten label. The Creation were the very definition of Freakbeat, with psychedelic songs, searing lead guitar by guitar hero Eddie Phillips, and a chaotic live presentation.  They have been cited as an influence by artists from Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page to Paul Weller and the Sex Pistols.

Misleadingly titled The Best of, their second album included 8 songs not previously released on their 1967 debut album “We Are Paintermen” (only issued in Germany and Denmark).  The Best of was only issued in Germany.  A beautiful copy of this essential 60’s album.
