	Tributes to Greg Shaw (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Greg certainly couldn't be called the godfather of alternative (not that he would have sought out that appellation), but he was a key figure in its gestation.
		Greg Shaw was at the heart of this movement in all his writing and collecting activities.
		Greg seemed more low-key in his promotion of the pop aesthetic after the 1970s ended, at least from my vantage point, and I sometimes wondered if MTV and all the nuttiness that followed had somehow taken the edge off his messianic pop hopes.

	Guardian \| Greg Shaw
		During his near-40 year invovement in the music industry Greg Shaw, who has died of a heart attack aged 55, was a writer, editor, publisher, manager, publicist, producer and independent record label owner.
		Shaw toured Europe with the Groovies in 1975 and 1976, met pretty much everybody on the emerging punk scene and considered this time the most exciting two years of his life.
		By 1979 Shaw was souring on the increasingly corporate punk scene, so he closed the magazine and focused his energy on promoting the glories of what he called "garage" music of the 1960s.

	Greg Shaw -- champion of the garage band movement
		Shaw's real passion at the time was a brand of '60s rock heavy on attitude and attack, the kind of music most famously compiled by writer-musician Lenny Kaye in the 1972 album "Nuggets," two LPs full of cult classics by the 13th Floor Elevators, the Blues Magoos, et al.
		Shaw was born in San Francisco and started collecting records in the late 1950s, accumulating a trove of more than 1 million recordings.
		Shaw, who had suffered health problems in recent years and received a pancreas/kidney transplant in 1999, is survived by his wife, Phoebe, a son, Tristan, and a brother, Robbie.

	In Memory Of Greg Shaw
		Shaw’s 38-year career in music began as a teenager in San Francisco, where he edited a mimeographed rock ‘n’ roll mag called Mojo-Navigator Rock and Roll News.
		Greg Shaw’s lucid, easygoing writing style did for me what all those two-chord punk-rock guitarists did for an entire generation of English kids in the mid-’70s.
		The last contact I had with Shaw was to solicit his always candid commentary for MAGNET pieces I was writing about Brian Jonestown Massacre and Beachwood Sparks, as well as a Warlocks story I did for Swedish magazine Sonic.

	In Memory Of Greg Shaw
		By virtue of his good-heartedness and his willingness to share the musical wealth, Shaw was responsible in no small part for encouraging me to embark upon the career path that now, ironically enough, finds me penning his obituary.
		Whenever I was seeking info on a band that might fall under Shaw’s purview, I knew I could call him and pick his brain, and if I needed a quote for an article in order to give it that extra voice of authority, he’d readily supply it.
		Shaw, who’d received a pancreas and kidney transplant in 1999, had not been in great health for some time, and after being admitted to the hospital for extremely high blood sugar, he developed complications that led to cardiac arrest.

		Shaw, 55, a rock journalist and founder of Bomp Records, one of the first independent rock 'n' roll labels, often worked without fame, choosing to promote obscure rock 'n' roll instead of chasing big acts.
		Shaw maintained that his 1976 review of the Sex Pistols in Phonograph Record was the band's first-ever American review.
		Shaw's Bomp label, at one time or another, released specially recorded tracks from artists such as Devo, The Germs, Stiv Bators (of the legendary punk band The Dead Boys) and The Romantics (the boys behind the beer commercial anthem "What I Like About You").

	Punk Turns 30: Greg Shaw
		Greg had a style too, and he was just as controversial, only with that baby face that never seemed to age and that quiet voice, he was a much less intimidating character.
		Greg also didn't think what you thought he would think about genres like "garage," which he is largely credited for keeping alive.
		Greg was the one person who understood some of the things I still find hard to express about the current music scene.

		Greg Shaw R.I.P. I heard the horrible news yesterday that Greg Shaw, the founder of the seminal Bomp record label (www.bomp.com) passed away on Tuesday at the too young age of 55.
		For those not aware of Greg Shaw and his connection with REM, the band actually approached Bomp when they were looking at record labels in the early days.
		Despite the fact that Greg loved the band, he figured that he wouldn't be able to give them the attention and backing that they deserved and so he pointed them in the direction of IRS.

		Greg Shaw founded Bomp Records in 1974 and was famous by supporting The Flamin' Groovies and their single "You Tore Me Down".
		Thru his contacts at the FM stations who distributed PRM, Greg Shaw managed to stir up a good deal of airplay even though the record wasn't in stores, and it was enough to convince Seymour Stein at Sire Records to sign the band.
		Greg had done all these projects, and had often been at Sire's offices in New York, so it's perhaps not surprising that he was able to get the Groovies signed.

		Lenny and Greg wanted to do a second volume, and work went ahead on it until it became clear that some of the best tracks could not be obtained, because the original labels were obscure and nobody knew where to find the masters.
		Greg realized he had to make up for lost time, and devoted most of a couple of years to learning the software and mastering the mechanics of creating album artwork and doing color separations via computer.

	Greg Shaw: The Father of Rock Journalism: Fufkin.com: David Fufkin: November, 2004
		Shaw, to many, was the father of rock and roll journalism and the inspiration for, in part, the power pop and punk movements in the seventies.
		It would be persons inspired by Greg Shaw to form their own record labels which would in the future give me that rock-and-roll jolt that can't really be described but only can be felt.

		Shaw was one of the most influential figures in the history of alternative pop music; he was certainly THE single most influential non-performer for me, a pop-starved suburban teen in the '70s, aching for connection, direction...aching for something cool.
		Shaw compiled and annotated the way-fab HISTORY OF BRITISH ROCK double-LP anthologies for Sire Records, a series of compilations which ressurrected and preserved some of the best of the '60s British Invasion and its aftermath, from The Dave Clark 5 to Badfinger, giving us '70s kids a potent reminder of what we were missing.
		Greg was one of the people responsible for bringing this timeless era of life and sounds to several new and future generations.
