About this ebook

Some describe Toms obsession with music as unhealthy. Growing up in the 1970s and early 80s middle England, developing his love for music and building a record collection to rival that of people twice his age, Tom becomes fascinated by the musical cultures of the day. In 1989 he turns eighteen and becomes part of his own culture, the Rave scene, selling all his beloved record collection along the way to fund his new lifestyle. After a while, he decides it is time to regain his lost collection. He makes a list, and at the top is a small list of rarities he regrets selling the most. As he follows the trails of the records he sold, each one reveals alarming information involving a close friend and a group of people he thought he had left behind. But to what extent is Tom involved?

About the author

Jon Reeves is now in his midforties and has an unconditional love for music. His desire to discover new sounds and learn about how musical history has allowed that music to grow has been with him for as long as he can remember. His life has often not been a bed of roses, relatively speaking. It’s not like he wonders each day if he will survive to the next. It’s more to do with his desire to be a good person, which more often than not has left him alienated from his peers. But not all of them. He has met some amazing people along the way who have inspired him to use his experiences to write stories. The only thing equally as important to him as music is to grow emotionally each day and attempt to take positives from everything that happens to him but, at the same time, keep a realistic head on his shoulders.
