 Pappalardi decided to help Creation work on their next album and invited the band to his Nantucket, Massachusetts home for two months of rehearsals.Over that time the project transformed into a musical collaboration with songs being written mostly by Pappalardi, his wife Gail Collins Pappalardi and Takeda.The album recorded at New York’s Bearsville Studios was released in April 1976 as "Creation with Felix Pappalardi".
