BOMP ISSUE #16 (Winter 76-77)

First issue as "BOMP!". But the pages index still has the "Who Put The Bomp!" monicker.

Special Brian Wilson issue with Dwight Twilley, Abba, Boston Bands, a Jack Nitzsche story and the "Where The Action Is" features. Plenty of reviews (LP's and singles).

As usual, the vintage ads (Twilley, Beckies, Flamin' Groovies...) have been included. Enjoy.

Here we go again, time of the holiday season is ringing in your jingle ears. 8th year of the PPC seasonal venture. All previous volumes are still available and quite enjoyable. So, if you want them, you can get them (even though those are RS links).

Thanks for visiting the PPC Blog, and have a cool yule!...Enjoy the spirit of Christmas... and don't forget to comment about this piece of Peace On Earth.

This year, all the songs (minus one) are lossless sourced, this is why i'd like to thank Joe Algeri (a.k.a The JAC) for giving me the lossless version of the classic "What Child Is This?" by The Britannicas (with Herb Eimerman on lead vocals).So far, it was only available as a free download mp3 (bitrate 160). You can visit his Bandcamp pages here ...and purchase what you want..Check also ""I See Things Differently", a Joe Algeri compilation of various (vaguely) Christmas themed songs that have been released annually over the past decade.

Ted Nicely (member of The Razz) produced this excellent EP, before joining the band. Colburn also recruited the disbanded Razz members  Bill Craig on second guitar and Doug Tull on drums.
