This page makes the primary research I conducted during for Love Saves the Day, Hold On to Your Dreams and Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor publicly available. It will also link to other primary and secondary material. It's going to take months, even years, to upload all of the articles, fanzines, flyers, original interviews and photographs I've amassed over the years, so I hope you'll bear with me. If you have material you would like to contribute, please get in touch. All items will be attributed.
