thought id upload this as I found it a good read for the "yoof" to have some idea of the rave/dance music/ecstasy scene of the early 80's and 90's and for us "oldies" to reminisce

Review
"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."

Let me know what you all think

Wow, thanks heaps for posting the link. Just skimmed thru a few pages and i can't wait to read it all.
 
60 pages in and really enjoying it.

Felt quite emotional when he was describing taking ecstasy for the first few times.

Also noted the point about his drunken violent mates scorning the love drug at first and stating they would punch anyone who tried to hug them. Then later on they turn up at a party high as and hugging people! It's kind of the direct opposite of what has happened to the festival scene here in the last 5 or so years. Used to be gurners hugging everyone, now we have terrible drunken brawls at electronic music events :(

edit: Also enjoying looking up some of the tunes he mentions on youtube.

The link is for a paying file sharing site, which is against forum guidelines. Not to mention the fact that it has nothing to do with Australia.

Although it is an interesting story, I'm sorry to say that AusDD is not the place for this.
