Like a time capsule of the Bristol Underground scene --Bristol Evening Post
Product Description
Chris Burton and Gary Thompson have compiled a fascinating collection of flyers advertising secret parties on the Bristol circuit in the 80s and conducted a series of interviews with the people behind the leading hip hop crews of the day. The result is a book that covers an area in Bristol's (and the UK's) musical development that has never before been documented. Nothing seemed to daunting for the young DJs, MCs and rappers as they took over abandoned buildings, moved in the sound systems and partied al night long. The only publicity was word of mouth and flyers. Many of the artists behind the flyers such as FLX, Inkie and Nick Walker have gone on to gain national and international recognition while many of the crews have become music superstars.

As a Bristolian now living abroad, I bought this book for nostaligias sake, thinking I already knew all about Bristol's music history, but wanted some old photos to look at. What I didn't expect was to learn about a thriving music scene that existed all around where I lived - one that shows that there was a lot going on well before 'Blue Lines'. I was a kid during the 80s and too young to know what was going on, but this book connects the vague childhood memories with stories of what was actually going on - parties, battles, general hip-hop culture, along with a good collection of photos and flyers. I would recommend this for anyone interested in the history of underground music, but the book is especially fascinating for the Bristol peeps who want to learn the musical roots of their city.
