It's been nearly three months since the publication of my book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1). It seems high time to gather all of its relevant hype and information in a big ol' mountain of smoosh.
First off, if you've already read the book, PLEASE consider rating and/or reviewing it on Amazon. At this writing, the book has received two five-star ratings (for which I'm VERY grateful), and one damning two-star rating (which bums me out, but I respect the honest opinion as rendered). With only three reviews posted, I could use a little more action if you're so inclined. The Amazon listing is here, and I also welcome rate/review posts at Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, and even Walmart if so inclined. I appreciate all of it, and I thank ya by the bucketload.
Now, while you can certainly order my book from the above online superstores, there are some preferred alternative methods for scoring my GREM! book:
AUTOGRAPHED COPIES
You can buy these directly from me for $34, which includes postage in the continental USA. I accept payment via PayPal at ccdatsme@aol.com. I have a limited supply of my previous book Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones (autographed, PayPal $29, same terms), and a package of both books for $50, same terms again.
I also have the autographed book listed on eBay.
The mighty Kool Kat Musik has autographed copies for sale here. You may wanna buy some pop music from Kool Kat while you're at it. No shortage of worthy rockin' pop options at Kool Kat!
In Syracuse, the book is available from my friends at Parthenon Books, and I autograph their stock whenever they ask me. Love Parthenon Books!
PRINT BOOKS AND EBOOKS
Beyond all of that, I'm a big believer in supporting your local independent bookstore. KEEP BOOKSTORES ALIVE! GREM! is distributed through Ingram, and nearly any bookstore in the world can special order a copy for you.
ISBN (print): 9798227451941
ISBN (ebook): 9798227381590
The ebook is also available here.
LIBRARIES:
I have made the book available for library distribution, but I don't know anything about how that works. I do know that if your local library grants you access to Hoopla, you can borrow the GREM! ebook through those means.
Finally, in the interest of gathering all of the book's infinites in one place, we close with a collection of links to all manner of GREM!-related frivolity:
The book's standing description, hype, and Table of Contents
Appreciations from Dave Murray at The Ego Has Landed! and S. W. Lauden at Remember The Lightning
My guest spot with Jim Monaghan on All Mixed Up, WDHA-FM (The Rock Of New Jersey!)
My appearance on Bridge Street on Syracuse NewsChannel 9

My appearance with Mark Hershberger and David Bash on Material Issues
My conversation with Rick Diyulio (of Syracuse's TK99) on Rocktalk Live
Dana & Carl on the Only Three Lads podcast with Brett Vargo and Uncle Gregg
Always open for more hype opportunities as they occur. But that should cover it for now. Once again: Into the infinite!
