[MrByrdbath]

@boycieboy100 ......having the single but no record player......sounds so funny yet tragic at the same time. ah well.

[stanleysoldman]

[TheWattfour]

[JRG1120]

Early Power Ballad!!!

[tatunkha]

Liam & Noel were going to be a Creations covers band before Oasis.

[tatunkha]

thanks for uploading this fine song

[skateitupable]

man.. if they were still around

[jacckful]

Altijd gedacht dat dit een comp van R vd Zwan was.....jammer Robbie..

[houwnl]

@jacckful Uitvoering van Big wheel met zang van Hans van Hemert is wel stukken beter.

[ModGirl1967]

Awesome song.

[Bnesque]

@ModGirl1967 feeling so good!

☺☺☺☺☺

[bigfatbiffta]

how??? how isnt this song more widely known? did they write this or is it a cover? the songs feckin epic man! What a mad thing youtube is, id never heard of this band and just out of curiosity i clicked on this song in the side bar, just because i thought it was a good name for a song, and stumbled accross this gem of a band, this lot should have easily been as big as the beatles, along with the zombies....thanks for posting!!

[CaptainJimKirk]

@bigfatbiffta There were so many great groups in the 60's, that some would come and go without really hitting the big time. I heard this on radio Luxembourg and bought it straight away.

Funny you should mention the Zombies - I tipped "She's Not There" for no. 1 as soon as I heard it. (It was no. 1 in the US, but no. 12 in the UK).

[Cavfos]

@bigfatbiffta it's not more widely known because Wes Anderson hasn't used it in a movie yet... give him time.

[Justen1980]

@bigfatbiffta truly epic, this band had a song figure prominently in the film "Rushmore" I heard this cool song on the previews when I was a teenager and thought it was the Who...

[1978Slim]

Beautiful

[feldi71]

Kaban!

[moxie96]

I dedicate this song to a certain number of male crushes a lot... and there are a lot I have crushes on...

[stOOpid68]

Did Otis Redding ever do a version of this?

I can "hear" him singing this, if ya know what I mean?

If ya "know" Otis' style ya could imagine it

KILLLLLLERRR track either way

Lee

Liverpool Mods.

[SgtBastard101]

Every song in those days had a tambourine in it except Mr. Tambourine Man. Ironic?

[AntiLilWayneChannel]

lol the leadsinger sounds like a young version of Ozzy. Anyway, I grew up listening to them from my mom always playing it lol.

That first picture...... The Beatles, lol, one of THE best!

[Jack01142]

Takes me back, used 2 listen 2 this over & over....

[jooproelofs]

[Sweden80Here]

Wow this is great ! Thanks for sharing!

[HUSKIEJAKE]

[AntiLilWayneChannel]

HUSKIEJAKE:

I don't think any new anything compares to all the originals.

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

[darklash]

This song is so fantastic. You can sooo relate to the lyrics... it almost makes my broken heart cry.

The Creations was a truly amazing group. Easily one of the best.

[iamatruthseeker]
