BIFF BANG POW! A Better Life: Complete Creations 1984-1991 (2022 UK/EU Deluxe Edition SIX CD box set - To many fans of Creation Records, Biff Bang Pow! [formed by Alan McGee around the same time he founded Creation Records in 1983] were the label's best-kept secret, fusing '60s psychedelia and power pop with beautiful, haunting melodies. Their early sound seemed to reinvent The Jam circa 1980, with a pop art approach reminiscent of the '60s band from whom their took their name, TheCreation [who recorded the song ‘Biff Bang Pow!’]. Curated with the full support of Alan McGee and other band members, this set also adds a raft of previously unissued demos and live material plus tracks from an abandoned album ['Sixteen Velvet Fridays'] and a handful of previously undocumented songs plus a Laughing Apple CD also adds some hitherto unheard demos by Alan with the band Newspeak [pre-Laughing Apple]. With sleevenotes including quotes from those involved, this is the ultimate tribute to one of the unsung talents of the C86 generation of indie bands. All six discs are UNPLAYED housed in the sealed clamshell picture box).
