The Best of Brought To Life - 198

1. TENPOLE TUDOR - 'Swords Of A Thousand Men' - Stiff 7" - UK - 1981

Only six bands on this sampler as we clear up a few classics as we hurtle our way towards #200. This was their third single and first hit. TOTP performance here.

2. REBELS AND INFIDELS - 'You're Fired' - Fowl LP - USA - 1984
When I last covered their monster debut album 'Corporate Picnic' I shamefully missed this one.

3. REALLY RED - 'Crowd Control' - C.I.A. 7" - USA - 1979
From their first single. From Houston, Texas.

4. STIFF LITTLE FINGERS - 'Suspect Device' - Rough Trade LP - UK - 1979
The opening track from 'Inflammable Material'. Better than the single?

5. RUDIMENTARY PENI - 'Media Person' - Outer Himalayan 7" - UK - 1981
The frantic opening track from their debut E.P.

6. THE MISFITS - 'Green Hell' - Plan 9 LP - USA - 1983

Fourth single, second hit. TV jollity here.

Their contribution to 'Cottage Cheese From The Lips Of Death'.

9. REBELS AND INFIDELS - 'Hey Hey' - Fowl Cassette - USA - 1985
