BOMP!
Saving The World One Record At A Time (Ammo Books) From press text: BOMP! is the definitive survey of the wildly innovative magazine of rock & roll commentary and criticism that was published from 1966-1978. Bomp's founder Greg Shaw (1949-2004), was neither a singer nor guitar player, but still became a legend in rock & roll. Greg's legacy of two magazines, Who Put the Bomp! and Mojo Navigator, were wild treasure troves of writing and graphics that gave birth to the modern rock press as we know it today. From psychedelic garage bands to early insurgent punk rock, Bomp! provided a view-from-the-garage of the most crucial era in rock hisotry. Rare gems are featured here, many reproduced as facsimile pages, loke the first writing about The New York Dolls and The Sex Pistols. In between the writing, the original and vintage artwork and graphics amplify the vibe of the era. Hardcover, 304 pages 229 mm x 305 mm. Book 34,90
