I can’t remember exactly how I came across this ebook, but it is an amazing and seldom known tale of how the underground party scene around London began. Class of ‘88 is the story of the true acid house experience. It was available for free from a website that no longer exists, so here’s a copy of it.
The things he went through just to be able to throw a party! Lying to police, telling them that they were filming a music video. Being kidnapped by military hoodlums. Some of my favorite DJs have been there since the beginning, their story being told within the book.

Product Description
What went on behind the Acid House dream? The raves and huge dance parties of the late-1980s changed the face of popular culture, as hundreds of thousands of youngsters enjoyed the illicit thrills of ecstacy and vast, illegal “all-nighters”. Yet beneath the bright surface was a world of drug deals, violence, exploitation, protection rackets and armed robbery. In this book, Wayne Anthony tells the story of his two years as an illegal dance party organizer and promoter. In those two years he was beaten up, menaced by criminals and blackmailers, confronted with sawn-off shotguns, kidnapped and threatened with murder.
