Suzy Shaw and journalist / author Mick Farren have compiled a book chronicling the Bomp Records label and its late, influential founder Greg Shaw. The book collects full color reproductions of Shaw's rock fanzines from his first zine Mojo Navigator (1966 to 1967) to the Bomp magazine (1973
to 1979). The 300 page work brings together writings by Lester Bangs, Greil Marcus, Ken Barnes, Gene Sculatti and Shaw himself among others. The zines feature interviews with everyone from the Doors and the Seeds through the Ramones, and Blondie.
