Shaw, Suzy -& Mike Stax-
Bomp! 2 - Born In The Garage
The ultimate anthology of rock'n'roll fandom, from its inception to its mid/late 1970s heyday - more than 300 pages of reproductions from Greg Shaw's pioneering '70s era zines 'Who Put The Bomp' and 'Bomp!' Obsessively detailed discographies and label listings, plus reams of readers' letters and never before published material. The sheer volume of historical information is almost mind-boggling. Also includes reprints from Shaw's obscure personal zines, 'Metanoia' and 'Liquid Love,' circulated in 1970-72 to just a handful of friends and fellow writers. Writings in 'Bomp! 2' cover 1960s garage and beat, surf music, British invasion, girl groups, rockabilly, acid punk, and psychedelia. Essays by Jon Savage, Alec Palao, Ken Barnes, Suzy Shaw and Mike Stax. Aside from such a huge selection of Shaw's insightful writing, 'Bomp! 2' also includes rare early work by celebrated rock scribes like Ken Barnes, Lester Bangs, Lenny Kaye, Richard Meltzer, Dave Marsh, Mike Saunders, Phast Phreddie, and others. Featuring artwork by underground artists like Jay Kinney, William Stout and Tom Kirk. Eye-popping cover art by the immortal William Stout.
