>We have some very sad news to report-- Bomp's founder, Greg Shaw, 
>died on Tuesday, October 19, from heart failure at the age of 55. 
>Greg's lifelong devotion to discovering, raving about and releasing 
>authentic -albeit obscure- rock & roll, and promoting rock fandom 
>over four decades was extraordinary. Among his many accomplishments 
>were fanzine publisher, magazine editor, band manager, author, indie 
>label owner, and rock historian. Though his roles often varied, two 
>things were absolutely consistent: his impeccable taste in music and 
>the ability to be there first.

>Though we grieve for him now, please know that Greg's legacy is the 
>Bomp/Voxx records he was so proud to release, as ever they will be 
>in print and available to inspire music lovers everywhere through 
>the efforts of his business partner, Suzy Shaw, and Alive/Total 
>Energy's Patrick Boissel.

>However you choose to honor Greg's memory-- do it with anything but 
>a moment of silence
