UPSIDE DOWN: THE CREATION RECORDS STORY
UPSIDE DOWN: THE CREATION RECORDS STORY
Danny O’Connor | UK 2010 | 101min. | Quebec Premiere
Over a quarter of a century since it began and a decade after it folded, this is the definitive film about Creation Records, one of the world's most successful and colorful independent labels. Millions of sales on both sides of the Atlantic, near bankruptcy, pills, thrills, spats, prats, success, excess, pick me ups, breakdowns and of course some of THE defining music of the late 20th Century: The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Primal Scream and Teenage Fanclub to the Boo Radleys, Super Furry Animals and - of course - Oasis among many, many more. The label's enigmatic founder Alan McGee talks candidly of the trail which led from humble beginnings in Glasgow, via drink and drug dependency to being wined and dined at No. 10 Downing Street by Tony Blair.
