[QUOTE="Shooms, post: 795186, member: 36"] I agree on Raving 89... it's more of a pic album.. don't get me wrong some of the pics are ace... but no really explanatory history or context... deffo had higher expectations given the hype on DJHistory. On the flip side I cannot emphasis how ace the Boys Own book is... it is what it is... the entire Boys Own fanzine history pressed into a hardbacked book (bit like Viz does). From 1986 to 1992 it is a proper timecapsule... terrace casuals & fashion (trainer charts lol !), lefty politics articles (the tories were cunts remember lol), rare groove thru to acid house, the backlash at west end club snobbery (Leigh Bowery / ID / The Face etc) the first grassroots articles on Shoom, Ibiza, the backlash against the men'al acieeeeeeeeeeed Teds, the growth of the 'Balaeric network', taking the piss out of Sasha, LOADS of tune charts per issue etc etc etc. The best bit is it was written AS IT HAPPENED. No rose-tinted glasses... it's a real account. I. Cannot. Recommend. This. Highly. Enough. :D PS the 1st mention of ecstasy tablets is in the first issue from 1986 [/QUOTE]
