The Best of Brought To Life - 196

1. PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY - 'Puppet Life' - United Artists LP - UK - 1979

The opening track from one of the best albums of all time 'Laughing Academy'.

2. PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY - 'Funk Me' - United Artists LP - UK - 1979

Followed by the second track. It complements it so seamlessly.

3. THE MISFITS - 'I Turned Into A Martian' - Ruby LP - USA - 1982

From the classic 'Walk Among Us'.  'Possession of the mind is a terrible thing, it's a transformation with an urge to kill'.

4. THE POP RIVETS - 'Lambrettavespascoota' - Hipocrite LP - UK - 1979

One from their debut album cheekily named 'Greatest Hits'. A playful tribute or a straight piss-take? You decide.

5. THE MUTANTS - 'Perfect Target' - Mutiny Shadow International LP - USA - 1982

Their only album 'Fun Terminal' had a very refined sound but I'm not sure that was ideal for a band with such a reputedly chaotic live show.

6. THE OFFS - 'Black Sun' - Live - USA - 1980

Available on the Vampir CD 'Live At The Mabuhay Gardens, Nov 7 1980'.

7. PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY - 'Hold Me (Never Mold Me)' - Red Rhino 7" - UK - 1983

Their final single. A mate once said it sounded like the New Romantics. We are no longer friends . . .

8. THE MISFITS - 'Night Of The Living Dead' - Ruby LP - USA - 1982

A second track from 'Walk Among Us'.  'Stumble in somnambulance where pre-dawn corpses come to life'. 

9. THE POP RIVETS - 'Commercial' - Hipocrite LP - UK - 1979

A second track from 'Greatest Hits'.

10. THE MUTANTS - 'Lesson In Time' - Mutiny Shadow International LP - USA - 1982

A second track from 'Fun Terminal'.

11. THE OUTPATIENTS - 'Fight' - Demo - USA - 1983

The opening track from the legendary 'Basement Tape'.

12. PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY - 'Funghi' - Red Rhino LP - UK - 1983

The opening track from second album '7'. Does anyone have an mp3 of 'Fairiation'? That one doesn't seem to have been comped anywhere and I aim to put that right!

13. THE MISFITS - 'Skulls' - Ruby LP - USA - 1982

A third from 'Walk Among Us'.  'The corpses all hang headless and limp, bodies with no surprises, as the blood drains down like devils rain, we'll bathe tonight'. Lovely.

14. THE POP RIVETS - 'Skip Off School' - Hipocrite LP - UK - 1979

One from second album 'Empty Sounds From Anarchy Ranch'.

15. THE MUTANTS - 'Emotional Readout' - Mutiny Shadow International LP - USA - 1982

A third track from 'Fun Terminal'.

16. THE OUTPATIENTS - 'Go Play' - Demo - USA - 1983

A second track from the 'Basement Tape'.

17. PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY - 'The Bird And The Elephant' - Red Rhino LP - UK - 1983

The ominous-sounding second track from '7'.

18. THE MISFITS - 'Violent World' - Ruby LP - USA - 1982

A fourth from 'Walk Among Us'.

19. THE POP RIVETS - 'Empty Sounds' -  Hipocrite LP - UK - 1979

A third thrasher from the 'Basement Tape'.

22. PUNISHMENT OF LUXURY - 'Tria Dance' - Red Rhino LP - UK - 1983

A third from '7' - the closing track.

23. THE MISFITS - 'Devil's Whorehouse' - Ruby LP - USA - 1982

A fifth from 'Walk Among Us'.

24. THE POP RIVETS - 'I Looked Twice' - Hipocrite LP - UK - 1979

A third from 'Empty Sounds From Anarchy Ranch'.

25. THE MUTANTS - 'Furniture' - Go! LP - USA - 1981

And finally, one from 'the 'Savoy Sound Wave Goodbye' compilation. Legendary video here.
