Alan McGee - click to enlarge picture McGee, Alan (mananger)

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1961, McGee worked as a railroad clerk while in his late teens. After forming a band called the Laughing Apple and publishing a fanzine, in 1983 McGee and cohort Dirk Green founded a club in London called the Living Room. Buoyed by the success of their club, McGee and Dirk Green, along with Joe Foster, decided to start a record label. Named after the '60s mod rock outfit, Creation Records' first release was by "The Legend" It was a 7" so bad that McGee reportedly hid most of the records underneath his bed, eventually melting them down after a dispute with the band.

Alan McGee became the manager of the Lilac Time in 1989 at roughly the same time they signed to Creation AND released "And Love For All" on Phonogram. It was not to be a lasting relationship with one album, one UK and one German single before parting ways and the Lilac Time part I folded into an 8 year hiatus. Creation records folded in 2000 and Alan now runs "Poptones" records.
