Need help re: Creation Records singles discography

OK, putting together a singles discography cos i couldnt really find a very comprehensive one on the web (trying to do it w/ covers and dates and liner notes and the whole 9 yards)

anyhow, figured i'd start off with the first 200 and i've already hit a few sticking points... was hoping some of you could help.

anyone know what the following creation SINGLES releases were/are

CRE 107
CRE 121
CRE 125
CRE 160
CRE 163
CRE 164
CRE 171
CRE 196

please note, don't confuse this with any albums that may have been released on the same numbers

thanks in advance

This fills in a few of the missing...

From using the "detailed search" function on gemm.com, I came up with CRE107T as being by Mutant Cyborg Orchestra, a 12" entitled "Urgent Power"/"Move". The Dread Zone 12" (CRE160T) was the only other thing to come up doing this.

Good luck. It rather surprises me that this kind of information isn't more readily available.

thanks, thanks, thanks.
i'd started off with my own collection + discogs, and then pieced together some of the others by using eil.com and amazon.co.uk's "used" sellers stuff, but forgot to try gemm.

Down to these 5 now

CRE 121
CRE 125
CRE 163
CRE 164
CRE 196

Wheee! awesome thanks

125 appears to be an unreleased Love Corporation single

Any more details on this one? I've got a couple of other unreleased singles (eg, I think 047 "Don't Shilly Shally" by Edwyn Collins was only sent out as a promo?) but even those I've got titles, etc

In any event thanks for all the help everyone!

i found it on cdzone.co.uk. the title is showing as "tba".. i couldn't find any of the others there.

gotcha... many thanks for the help!

"Don't Shilly Shally" was definetly released in the shops.

hmmmm seems there's an abundance of misinformation out there in googleville then, sorry about that.

thanks for the clarification

― rentboy (rentboy), Monday, 20 June 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

Wait, now I think I'm wrong. The released version was on Elevation, McGee's major label failure. I'm guessing the Creation "Don't Shilly Shally" was put on hold because they wanted to release it on Elevation.
