Thank you NME for giving us this amazing news! All brit-pop fans will rejoice when they hear that the legendary Alan McGee says he is "seriously considering" bringing back his iconic Creation Records.
For those of you who don't know who he is, this man is the creator of a label that became iconic. The pioneering label, had a roster with a few names you may have heard of like Oasis, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Teenage Fanclub, Felt and Super Furry Animals, was disbanded in 1999.
However, its boss Alan McGee says he is thinking about bringing it back: "Since spending the summer helping curate [the festival] Tokyo Rocks for next year it’s made me realise I do still love it! It was when I was flying back from Japan with the Primals that started me loving it again," he said in a statement. He added:

This guy is bad ass! And if he is brining Creation Records back it means lots of amazing new music is going to come to light!
DAMN STRAIGHT! Creation Records was set up in 1983. McGee sold half the label to Sony in 1992, before dissolving it fully in 1999 to form his own label Poptones, which signed The Hives. Poptones wound down in 2007, with McGee citing financial reasons.
