Yes, I love the Cherry Red albums (haven't got the Creation ones, but do have "Absolute Classic Masterpieces 2" which is stuff from that period). I particularly like "Primitve Painters" - Felt and Liz Cocteau, what's not to like? Maurice Deebank's playing is hardly a million miles from Vini Reilly. MD's solo album is great too.
I assumed that was the source of your moniker (as mentioned in your introduction thread).
