Fried & Justified : Hits, Myths, Break-Ups and Breakdowns in the Record Business 1978-98

UK Post Punk Scene - Book - by Mick Houghton

(2021)


Twenty heady years at the centre of the British music business.A candid frontline account of an illustrious gonzo career as an independent music publicist during the post-punk heyday of the 80s and 90s, featuring an introduction by Bill Drummond and a new foreword by Julian Cope. Mick Houghton worked with some of the greatest, most influential and downright dysfunctional cult groups of the post-punk era and beyond - Ramones, Talking Heads, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Undertones, Felt and Sonic Youth among them. But the three acts Mick is most closely identified with are Echo & the Bunnymen, Julian Cope, and the KLF.
