Books by Mick Houghton

In 1980, Houghton set up his own PR company, Brassneck Publicity, and for the next 20 years the list of his charges reads like a who's who of some of the greatest, most influential, and most dysfunctional cult groups of the post-punk era and beyond. It is his indefatigable belief that it was always the music that came first.

Becoming Elektra tells the incredible true story of Elektra Records, the label that brought the world The Doors, Love, The Stooges, Tim Buckley, and more.
