Why did we bring this into our collection?  This self-published book by photographer and rave detective Neil Barclay breathes UK rave culture and its remarkable history. Fascinated by the locations of some of the most iconic raves of 1989, Neil returned to these sites to capture them as they are today. His photos reveal subtle traces—ghosts, almost—of legendary nights more than 35 years ago. He contrasts them with a few photos by legendary photographer Dave Swindells and short testimonials.

We imported this book directly from the UK, straight from Neil himself.
