Comment:
The Bomp story started in 1966 when 17 year old Greg Shaw moved to San Francisco to live in the Haight-Ashbury. It was there that the created Mojo-Navigator Rock & Roll News. It didn't survive long but still left a mark. It was the first music magazine in San Francisco and the model for Rolling Stone. The mimeo zine made an impact but soon folded. Two years later Shaw would crank up the mimeograph and launch BOMP. It too began to grow, making a larger impact than Mojo. A scene started to build around it. Those were the days, 1970 to 1972, when rock 'n' roll was lame; there was nothing really happening. Bomp cared. When the magazine began to get too successful Shaw folded it and turned his attentions to a record that was all ready underway. Bomp Records debuted with a single by the Flamin' Groovies. Bomp has put out over 200 records by people like Iggy and the Stooges, Spacemen 3, Stiv Bators, the Plimsouls and numerous others. Bomp had a flurry of success and soon bands came sniffing around the Bomp offices. Not wishing to turn Bomp into a big time label. Shaw shut down the Bomp name for 5 years and devoted the attention to the Voxx label, which focused on the neo-psychedelic garage punk bands. The label inspired by the Pebbles series he was releasing on the sister AIP label. The label literally launched a movement. Bomp has put out over 200 records and has helped support punk, power pop, modern garage bands and some heavy psych noise alongside preserving large chunks of nearly forgotten '60s music.
Feedback:
nice tribute and lovely mix
Very fine work Tom. Better fire up the CD burner because I'm sure there will be plenty of requests for this. "You Tore Me Down" is pop perfection.
another goody. Is Action Shake on it's way to me yet? :-)
Classic, Tom. A great idea/addition to the series. And while you're firing up the burner...
Rob, I made the bold assumption that you wanted this in your stack and thus you have a freshly burned copy in your forthcoming package.
*bowing to CASETTA's wisdom and foresight*
This looks fantastic, Tom.
yowza, this really does look stellar. can i get a copy as well?
Very, very nice. Terrific stuff.
the definitive piece of work concerning power pop is in the pages of Bomp......nice one, guy
Wow. How the hell did I miss this before? Thanks for paying tribute to what may be the finest American label ever. This inspires me to make a Stiff records mix.
