Mick Houghton’s new book Fried & Justified skilfully navigates the minefields of inter-band rivalries and contrasting fortunes that he encountered during his many years working as a publicist. Subtitled not so succinctly, Hits, Myths,
Break-Ups And Breakdowns In The Record Business, 1978-98, the publication is a witty and insightful tale that lifts the lid not only on the bands he worked with, but also the changing landscape of the music business.
