This book was written for you by the Freditor himself!

The Author's Edition was autographed and came with a data CD fully loaded with a searchable discography, complete with track listings, timings, credits and full color jpeg scans of LPs, 45s, tapes, jackets, labels, sleeves, etc.

The data CD also included a chronology, article listings, scans of tour programs, posters, books, magazines and other ephemera.

While info about the book can be found via Internet search, the book itself is out of print. Used copies for sale may be found through various vendors. Freditor made the executive decision to make a downloadable PDF copy the book available to Firezine site visitors right here. He asked his reprobate of a sitemeister to get this done quite some time ago, said sitemeister finally got off his substantial derriere and got this done. Download here, via this link:
