Shit, shit, shit.
Greg just helped us with some background stuff for the upcoming Bomb Records
anthology we're releasing in the new year -- and contributed the master for
the Wackers "Captain Nemo" we just re-issued. Segarini and David Quinton
(Dead Boys) will be devestated. I know Greg was instrumental in helping both
these guys with their respective careers.
I didn't know Greg well, but he was always helpful and cordial and gave
power pop a truly great name.
Long may he bomp...
Jaimie Vernon,
Bullseye Records
