CREATION'S NEW CHAPTER

3/8/24

Former Creation label boss and artist manager Alan McGee and producer-Killing Joke bassist Martin “Youth” Glover have founded a new label, Creation Youth, in collaboration with Richard England and Nick Lawrence.

Initial projects include music from Forgotten Pharaohs, Bad Fractals and Sonny E plus posthumous releases from Jamie Reid and Lee “Scratch” Perry. McGee will also curate a subscription-based singles club.

“I have been friends with Youth since 1980, he is my friend and also one of my heroes,” said McGee, whose Creation Records was home to Oasis, Primal Scream, Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine in the 1990s. “The first record we have made together for the label is the Forgotten Pharaohs album, which is already record of the year for me.”

Beyond McGee handling A&R and Youth overseeing production, England will be label manager while Lawrence is business/finance management boss.
