The Creation Records Story: My Magpie Eyes are Hungry for the Prize

Product Information

They would have also fit in on the Postcard label out of Scotland as well (Aztec Camera, Orange Juice, Josef K, the Go Betweens, etc)!

The Creation Records Story: My Magpie Eyes are Hungry for the Prize was origi- nally published to wide critical-acclaim in 2001. Even when he gives brief praise to the album upon its release, the author can hardly complete a sentence about it without repeating the band's problems.

Out of print for many years and regarded as one of the greatest music books ever written, My Magpie Eyes are Hungry for the Prize: The Creation Records Story is the definitive account of the iconic British record label, republished for the label’s 40th anniversary.

Now, when the dust has settled, this is the definitive full on story of The Loft in sound, words and visuals; with full participation by ALL the members! This is a chronological account of the label's genesis-to-demise, veering off willfully on tangents to present back-stories.From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer. They were highly influenced by bands like the Byrds, Television, The Television Personalities, and the Swell Maps. Like all great music books, it makes you want to listen again to some of them - the Weather Prophets records stand up particularly well. What started as a “one-way conversation” with a magpie has ended with a Victorian man airlifted to hospital with serious injuries to both his eyes.
