'''Creation Records''' was an independent record label from the UK, founded in 1983 and disbanded in 2000, which served as one of the key labels in the [[Alternative Rock]] scene of the UK during [[The Eighties]] and [[The Nineties]].
The label was formed by Alan McGee with second-in-command Dick Green and producer Joe Foster, and named after one of McGee's favourite bands, The Creation. Its initial purpose was to serve as an outlet for like-minded musicians and bands, in opposition to the "manufactured" [[Synth Pop]] that was so popular at the time. Funded with a £1,000 loan, the label put out its first single, "73 in 83" by The Legend! (a pseudonym for journalist Everett True), and soon scored a distribution deal with Rough Trade Records.
Line 10:
The label's dissolution was announced in late 1999, and its last release was Primal Scream's ''XTRMNTR''. McGee moved on to his next label Poptones (which popularised [[The Hives]] but also folded in 2007), while Foster continued to focus on Rev-Ola Records. A documentary about the label, ''Upside Down'', premiered in October 2010.
