Description

The Oasis bits aside - they're as tiresome to read about as they are to look at or listen to - this is a fitting overview of a label that played a significant role in defining the independent music scene in the UK from the 1980s onwards. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. May have some underlining and highlighting of text and some writing in the margins, but there are no missing pages or anything else that would compromise the readability or legibility of the text. Throughout, Cavanagh's wry, unsensational tone imposes much-needed perspective upon the mania that informed Creation's mission to wreak pop-art havoc upon the music establishment.

The Creation Records Story: My Magpie Eyes are Hungry for the Prize was origi- nally published to wide critical-acclaim in 2001. Cavanagh distinguishes himself from Simon Reynolds and Jon Savage by concentrating on the mechanics of the music industry, rather than employing the dubious technique of trying to infer wider social meaning from musical trends.My expectations may have been a bit on the high side, but it was interesting and informative to say the least.

Anything that gives me more insight into the early years of the Jesus and Mary Chain is always going to get a thumbs up from me.Only last month, a video of a young boy being relentlessly swooped by a magpie – and filmed by his father – went viral. A lesser author would have slavishly documented each and every act in writing *The* Creation Records Story. Like all great music books, it makes you want to listen again to some of them - the Weather Prophets records stand up particularly well.

Home to William Golding, Sylvia Plath, Kazuo Ishiguro, Sally Rooney, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Max Porter, Ingrid Persaud, Anna Burns and Rachel Cusk, among many others, Faber is proud to publish some of the greatest novelists from the early twentieth century to today. Containing interviews with Creation musicians, employees, supporters and detractors, this is the inside story of Creation Records – and of British music since the 1980s. Apart from the shock of it all, I just thought, yes, it had struck me in the face, but I didn’t think it had done any damage. It's a bit rushed in the latter stages, but it's well worth a read for anyone interested in the machinations of the music industry.Hotjar sets this cookie to know whether a user is included in the data sampling defined by the site's pageview limit. My Magpie Eyes Are Hungry for the Prize transcends the parochial concerns of most rock biographies, although it comes steeped in them too. Containing interviews with Creation musicians, employees, supporters and detractors, this is the inside story of Creation Records - and of British music since the 1980s. I picked up the meal, which had fallen to the ground at this stage and started walking to my car, which wasn’t that far away. I dont care about the end of Creation when McGee is taking drugs (I just couldn't ever sympathise with him, he seems so unlikeable) and selling out to Sony.
