When i researched my book on Brian Jones i got in touch with Norman
Pilcher. It's a long story, but here is his autobiography. Enjoy.

It amazes me people on fora tend to speculate for years what happened and when the real answers come they shy away from it. Yes, his actions hurt Lennon and Harrison and Jones. But it’s really interesting to learn for the first time the mechanism behind it.

Georgie48, It’s impossible you ever saw an interview with Norman Pilcher. No way. You challenge the facts but don’t seem the present correct facts yourself.

Hi Blueranger, a fair assessment, I guess. The interesting thing is the influence of the establishment on these drugs squad chaps.

Always cracked me up: they are handing out heroin and cocaine like candy at the neighborhood chemist shop and yet they are arresting people for a little weed.
People like this don't deserve the fame or money...in the USA any proceeds from a crime are supposed to be forfeited including money made on the sale of books etc. Is it that way where this book is being published?
Just curious if the money has to be donated to some organization or charity.
If it were it might make the book more worthy in my eyes but as it is, fcuk the cops, anything they say is a lie or at least very suspect. Actually that would hold regardless of whether he is being paid or not, but it would make it more palatable if not.

The methods were incredibly questionable. But every start is always a hard one. And with failures too.

I agree with what you wrote, and yes failures happen all the time all over the world. But deliberately placing drugs in someone's house, suggesting they were there already, is not a failure, it's a criminal act. And when done by the police it's a multiple level criminal act. Any excuse by any cop any time on this, whether in an "autobiography", or any other way, stinks (and as far as I'm concerned that a modest way of putting it).

Again: The book is not an excuse, it’s an explanation. After reading it you can judge for yourself. It gave me some very unexpected insights.

He was convicted, sent to prison and he did his time. In modern society you are no longer called a criminal after that. However, a small part of society escaped this notion. It can be repaired by reading books and not by repeating the same post on this board over and over again. But that takes courage and a real effort.
By the way, and I find this ironically funny, it was Andrew Loog Oldham himself who taught us how to promote ‘bad guys’ and his tactics still work!
