The true story of the rise and fall of Creation Records and its infamous founder Alan McGee; the man responsible for supplying the “Brit Pop” soundtrack to the ‘90s, a decade of cultural renaissance known as Cool Britannia. From humble beginnings to Downing Street soirées, from dodging bailiffs to releasing multi-platinum albums, Creation had it all. Breakdowns, bankruptcy, fights and friendships… and not forgetting the music. Featuring some of the greatest records you have ever heard, we follow Alan through a drug-fuelled haze of music and mayhem, as his rock’n’roll dream brings the world Oasis, Primal Scream, and other generation-defining bands.

maybe im too well-educated in creation records’/primal scream’s/JAMC’s history but halfway through this i felt as if i could have told this story better than how it was done here
so historically inaccurate alan mcgee’s ego is so high here they casted a dude 50 pounds lighter than him to portray him also why is bobby’s hair so long while he was in JAMC? and MBV is barely touched upon? ride not even included? it feels highlighted in all the wrong places
