PATRICK BOISSEL
 

 

 

Marilyn Records was a European label that was founded by French musician Patrick Boissel in the mid-1980’s.  After a number of French and Spanish releases, Marilyn began handling the sort of musicians and bands that gravitate to Bomp! Records.  Suzy Shaw of Bomp! Records met Boissel at a record convention, and Marilyn Records became their distributor in Europe.  One result was a great compilation album that I have of previous Bomp! Records releases called From L.A. with Love (1992) that features the Plimsoulsthe Flamin’ GrooviesStiv BatorsJeff Dahl, the Stooges, and the Zeros

 

In the mid-1990’sPatrick Boissel moved to Los Angeles in order to work for Bomp! Records Right away he formed his own label called Alive Naturalsound Records (usually shortened to Alive Records).  He and Suzy Shaw married, and they now run the Bomp! empire together.
