Class of 88 – The True Acid House Experience (Special Edition
Paperback)
Wayne Anthony took his first ecstasy tablet in Spain 1987.
Then the Summer of Love hit Britain in '88 and, together
with the rest of the youth of the UK, Wayne embraced the
bright new Acid House lifestyle of dance music, MDMA
and all-night celebrations as Britain partied like never before.
Yet when Wayne turned his natural East End entrepreneurial
instincts to the rave world, and began organising the infamous
Genesis dance parties for thousands of people, he quickly
discovered the seamy downside of the Acid House dream.
Beneath the shiny smiley surfaces lurked a vicious world of
violence, police harassment, gangsters, protection rackets
and organised crime.
In two years as an illegal dance party promoter, Wayne
Anthony made-and lost – hundreds of thousands of pounds,
took vast amounts of drugs, and jumped out of an airplane
on LSD. He was also beaten up by psychotic ex-paratroopers,
menaced by criminals and blackmailers, confronted with
sawn-off shotguns, kidnapped and threatened with murder.
Wayne Anthony spent two years breaking and entering
into warehouses and putting his life on the line in the
vanguard of the dance party revolution which swept
the UK in the late eighties. Class of 88 is his raw,
idiosyncratic and fascinating account of how Acid
House changed his life and Great Britain, and later
the world, forever…
