The Manual (How To Have A Number One The Easy Way) – Bill Drummond & Jimmy Cauty 1988

Back when number one was tops, this tiny book told you exactly how to get there – smash by hit. From those nice KLF boys, it’s a mash-up of scally cynicism, industry wisdom and gleeful Top-of-the-Pops-loving innocence. It was also an uncannily accurate prediction of the sample-based no-experience-necessary future of music-making. I left a million quid on that table, anyone seen it?
