... because I have a paper to write for a class and I've chosen to write about acid house.
It would be very cool if someone could send me the article, in a digital format; here in Brazil it's not very easy to find the magazine, early issues even more difficult.
And if you guys have any other sugestions on what to read about the history of acid house, that are available online, that would be great as well.
thanks!

I didn't think it was necessary to say "no wikipedia links" on the question... oh well. But thanks (?) anyway

thanks for your great advice, maybe you should write a wikipedia article about it.

You should probably read:
Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture (UK title, Pan Macmillan, 1998, ISBN 0-330-35056-0) published in abridged form as Generation Ecstasy: Into the World of Techno and Rave Culture (North American title, Routledge, 1999, ISBN 0-415-92373-5)
if you can.

More recommended reading: History of House (edited by Chris Kempster) and Pump up the Volume: A History of House by Sean Bidder. The first one is an interview book where many of the original producers and DJs shed light on the early days of house (including acid house), and the second one is a more straightforward history. These aren't online though, sorry.
