The Best of Brought To Life - 191

1. THE TOY DOLLS - 'Modern Schools Of Motoring' - Volume LP - UK - 1985

Our journey through the early Toy Dolls albums continues with this classic little ditty from their second full-length collection 'A Far Out Disc'.

2. THE F.U.'s - 'Me Generation' - Xclaim! MLP - USA - 1982

From their first 12"er 'Kill For Christ'.

3. THE FREEZE - 'Days Of Desperation' - Modern Method LP - USA - 1983

And it's about time we revisited the classic Freeze debut album 'Land Of The Lost'.

4. THE CLASH - 'City Of The Dead' - CBS 7" - UK - 1977

The flipside of 'Complete Control'.

5. THE STRAW DOGS - 'We Aint Dead (Yet)' - Self-released 7" - UK - 1981

From their sole 4-tracker. Get the whole thing plus more here.

6. THE TOY DOLLS - 'Bless You My Son (My Girlfriend's Dad's A Vicar)' - Volume LP - UK - 1985

Probably the definitive moment from 'A Far Out Disc'. I defy you not to love it!

7. THE F.U.'s - 'Peer Police' - Xclaim! MLP - USA - 1982

The opening track from second album 'Give 'Em Enough Rope'.

10. DEAD FINGERS TALK - 'We Got The Message' - Pye LP - UK - 1978

For me, a band that promised more than they delivered. From 'Storm The Reality Studios'.

11. THE TOY DOLLS - 'Carol Dodds Is Pregnant' - Volume LP - UK - 1985

A third rip-roaring track from 'A Far Out Disc'.

12. THE F.U.'s - 'T.N.H.' - Xclaim! MLP - USA - 1982

A third from 'Kill For Christ'. Trendy Nazi Hypocrites, though why they decided to abbreviate it is anyone's guess.

13. THE FREEZE - 'Food Lava' - Modern Method LP - USA - 1983

And a third track from 'Land Of The Lost'.

14. THE CLASH - 'Clampdown' - CBS 2 x LP - UK - 1979

I wasn't a big fan of 'London Calling' but I like this track.

15. THE STRAW DOGS - 'Don't Need (You)' - Self-released 7" - UK - 1981

A second track from their E.P.

16. THE TOY DOLLS - 'Come Back Jacky' - Volume LP - UK - 1985

A fourth track from 'A Far Out Disc'.

And one from second 12"er 'My America'.

18. THE FREEZE - 'Duh Family' - Modern Method LP - USA - 1983

A fourth track from 'Land Of The Lost' - this is Part 1 of the song I comped on the last disc.

19. THE CLASH - 'Guns Of Brixton' - CBS 2 xLP - UK - 1979

Another track from 'London Calling'. Where have you heard the bass line before?

20. THE TOY DOLLS - 'James Bond (Lives Down Our Street)' - Volume 7" - UK - 1985

Really? In Olga's world he does! This one was a single.

And a fifth track from 'Land Of The Lost'.

24. THE TOY DOLLS - 'Olga . . . I Cannot' - Volume 7" - UK - 1985

The flipside of 'James Bond Lives Down Our Street'. Poor Olga, but he sure sounds persistent!

Another classic Clash single.
