Retrospective Book/CD of 1960's Rock Band that became a Cult Classic

Tustin, CA (PRWEB) November 6, 2006

Author Jack Eadon's rich and diverse experiences come alive in his 1960's memoir, "Got To Make It! - Collectors' Edition" (ISBN 0975330063). Now considered a cult classic, Eadon's rock band Khazad Doom reached a certain level of success during this pivotal decade. Recently rediscovered in the 90's by Eastern European music collectors, their 1970 album was highly regarded as "the most valuable recorded music on the face of the planet." With this newfound interest, Eadon was more than happy to oblige music fans and 60's generation enthusiasts by releasing his remarkable chronicle of a time long past.

Inspired by the Beatles fever that overtook America, 14-year-old Eadon began a rock band with three best friends in the deep suburbs of Chicago, IL. With a perseverance held only by determined youth, their long road of ups and downs eventually led Khazad Doom to significant success with album releases and international recognition. The band had a steadying influence on Eadon's turbulent home life and served as a creative counterpoint to this evolving teen.

Eadon imparts his nostalgic recollection while setting the mood of the country in this personal chronicle. References to Kent State, the Kennedy and King assassinations and the worldwide march for hunger are interspersed between significant band experiences such as playing to 15,000. Readers are drawn into the whirlwind as real events are put into the context of this pivotal time in American history, as well as for four young teenagers with a dream.

"Got To Make It! (Collectors' Edition)" is the definitive retrospective of Khazad Doom's rocket to success, combined with Eadon's personal coming-of-age story. This fast-paced, thrill ride comes with its own visuals and soundtrack -- in the form of an extensive photo gallery and remastered CD. Only 180 copies of their original album were pressed making this CD a serious prize for avid music collectors. Each song is reflected in the storytelling making this interactive trip down Khazad Doom's memory lane, a virtual time-machine adventure into history in the making.

Jack Eadon spent his first working decade in rock music with the band Khazad Doom. He entered the corporate world with an MBA in 1974, which took him to 1983 when he opened a business in southern California. After living in Illinois, Texas, California and Kansas, Jack now resides back in southern California with his executive wife, and is a full-time writer. "Got To Make It! - Collectors' Edition" (ISBN 0975330063) is one of Eadon's seven books, and can be purchased at online bookstores. For more information, visit http://www.eadonbooks.com
