<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>First published in the UK in 2020; first published in the USA in 2019.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A Book of the Year, <i>Uncut</i></b> <br> <b><i> </i></b><b>'A wild rock 'n' roll fairground ride of the damned.' <i>Observer</i></b> <br> <i><b> </b></i><i><b>***</b></i> <i><i> <p/> <b>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 new cover artwork by Jimmy Cauty.</b> <p/> </i>We arrived in a fleet of white stretch limos at a clearing in a wood near Woking. Here the K Foundation was exhibiting a million pounds in cash, while <b>Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty </b>circled the perimeter in two orange Saracen armoured vehicles, blasting out Abba's 'Money Money Money' . . . </i> <p/> 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. <p/> But the three acts Mick is most closely identified with are Echo & the Bunnymen, Julian Cope, and the KLF. As confidant and co-conspirator, he navigated the minefield of rivalries and contrasting fortunes which make <i>Fried & Justified </i>such a candid, amusing and insightful picture of an exciting and inspirational period for music.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An entertaining memoir recalls twenty heady years at the centre of the British music business." -- <i>Financial Times</i> <p/> "Excellent . . . Remind[s] us that the best pop culture often comes together thanks to accidental, passionate heroes, standing out against the crowd in the most brilliant way." -- <i>New Statesman</i> <p/> "Houghton's unfussy affection for his charges makes it a celebration of life on the musical margins rather than a compendium of gossip . . . As parallel histories of the UK alternative scene go, this one leaves them all behind." -- <i>Uncut</i> <p/> "<i>Fried and Justified</i> sheds light on a bygone industry that, although flawed, occasionally nurtured genuine misfit-creatives." -- <i>Observer</i><br>
