Release Notes:
--------------
One of the initial products springing forth from Creation's mid-'90s
U.S. licensing deal with Tristar (distributed through Sony), Patron
Saints of Teenage serves as an excellent introduction to the pre-rave
era of the label. Providing a bit of a Cliffs' Notes summary of
Creation's more folk-pop and noisy '60s rave-up period, the compilation
draws hits and near-hits from the likes of Felt, Biff Bang Pow!, the
Pastels, the Telescopes, and Jazz Butcher. One under-recognized
psych-pop gem reprised for American consumers here is Revolving Paint
Dream's ear-piercing "Flowers in the Sky. Most of the tracks are culled
from full-lengths, and the remaining few are from singles.
Unfortunately, Creation's deal with Tristar lasted about as long as a
Meat Whiplash single, and some of the planned reissue campaign never
reached fruition. :)
