The one thing we miss when everything's downloaded and put onto our little ipPods or in the computer playing out of those awful little speakers to make us even less interested in music as a powerful, life-changing force is the big package; the 12" Record Sleeve, the record labels, the spines, the inserts... the little things that make records so mysterious. A compact disc is made in a sterile factory, its printed materials are made using a 4-color "process" - an LP Record is made in an environment and printed using a screenprinting "method."

Discounting Nostalgia, The Difference is Quite Real.

1947 - 1983. This was an unheralded era in Design, Art, Music, & Fashion {I call it: "DAMF"}; In these years there were more movements taking place than ever in history : Abstract Expressionism, Lettrism, Musique Concrète, The Atomic Age, Elektronische Musik, Conceptual Art, Minimalism, {p}Op Art, Happenings, Fluxus, Mod, Conceptual Art, Free Jazz, Arte Povera, Psychedelia, Photorealism, Edwardianism, Disco, Punk, New Wave, and so on...

All around the world there was invention and discovery in this new electronic music and its visual counterpart. It's hard to imagine a music or design sense that leans exclusively on the future especially now as we're so obsessed with the past.

36 Years. 33 Revolutions.

So this began as the first ever reissue series for LP covers and related packaging items, with everything printed as closely as possible to exact 5/12 scale including the inserts, label ephemera, booklets. In fact everything but the LP labels and the LP it's self.

But almost immediately people wanted the missing element so I began including the music inside the sleeve on a CD-Recordable. This makes the Creel Pone more expensive to produce than they are sold for; but really it's not about having anything to do with money but just a way for pure and great art both in vision & sound to prosper and be discovered a new.

100 Reproductions.

You can find these little items where I have travelled and have met sympathy ::

If you are from a gallery or public-space that wants to have them on display, or a shop that wishes to have them on offer ::

Or if you are in Reykjavik you can just stand in front of Sirkus yelling "CREEL PONE" and I will hear you from my flat and come down and meet you for a drink {It could be that I'm already inside ???}
