This week it's all Bomp! Records, start to finish. Greg and Suzy Shaw started one of the last truly independent labels, put out Flamin' Groovies' first single back in 1974 and went on to launch The Romantics, Stiv Bators, The Plimsouls, and Iggy Pop's long-lost Kill City sessions. Power pop as we know it doesn't exist without them.Greg's gone now, but Suzy's still running the label, still doing exactly what she titled her own book after: saving the world, one record at a time.👉 Bomp RecordsToday's Tracks:Flamin' Groovies - You Tore Me Down20/20 - Giving It AllThe Romantics - Tell It To CarrieShoes - Tomorrow NightZeros (1977) - Don't Push Me AroundStiv Bators - It's Cold OutsideThe Poppees - If She CriesNikki & The Corvettes - You Make Me CrazyThe Boyfriends - I Don't Want NobodyThe Last - Looking At YouThe Jumpers - You'll Know Better When I'm GoneIggy Pop & James Williamson - Consolation PrizesTaxi Boys - ShePete Holly and The Looks - Baby, Please Believe MeJosie Cotton - Johnny, Are You Queer?The Plimsouls - A Million Miles Away
