SFA do kind of take over at this point.

"Fire in My Heart" was a single but "Wherever I Lay My Phone That's My Home" wasn't?

Noh

It was supposed to be - it had promos pressed and everything, but it got shelved.

this is between Primal Scream (agree brimstead), SFA and the Boo Radleys (agree Turrican).

I made this one run too long as well, didn't I?

1997 on was my peak Creation single buying period I reckon. A lot of stuff in there I liked at the time but I'm going with "Fire in my Heart" because it's a genuinely lovely song.

I'd like to think if Creation hadn't folded and they'd carried on putting out records, that they would have moved away from the Oasis type of stuff and repositioned themselves as a label that were more towards the SFA/Boo Radleys end of the spectrum. Basically the Dick Green stuff, not the Alan McGee stuff. Stuff like Mishka showed that McGee was losing interest post-Oasis, he shoulda left the label to Green, who would have pushed the label forward.

I mean, christ, you just have to look at what both McGee and Green did after Creation. Wichita (Green's label) or Poptones (McGee's label)? I know which roster I prefer.
― Turrican, Monday, 30 May 2016 22:18 (seven years ago) link
Is Green still involved with Wichita?
McGee seems to have quietly given up on the label he started with Cherry Red, 359 Music.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I don't know a lot about Wichita vs. Poptones. I'd think that Beachbuggy would go a long way, but so would Los Campasinos! What's the consensus?
― dlp9001, Sunday, 5 June 2016 00:06 (seven years ago) link
Wichita all the way.
