The Best of Brought To Life - 205


1. THE RAMONES - 'Now I Wanna Be A Good Boy' - Sire LP - USA - 1977
This one opened up Side 2 of the second Ramones album 'Leave Home'. Better than their debut? 
2. THE ANGELIC UPSTARTS - 'Woman In Disguise' - Anagram 7"- UK - 1982
A decent single and the only track I enjoyed on their 'Reason Why' album. 
3. THE DRONES - 'Movement' - Valer LP - UK - 1977
From their one and only '70s album 'Further Temptations' which almost lived up to the sleeve. 
4. SUPERMATIX - 'Sex Sells' - Matchbox Classics 7" - UK - 1981
From their one and only 'Bad Timing' E.P. Apparently they only ever played one gig too! From Carlisle, of course. 
5. THE EXECUTE - 'Final Attack' - DOA 7" - Japan - 1983
From their first hard vinyl release 'Hardcore Temptation'. 
6. X-PRESS - 'All Dresssed Up (No War To Go)' - Demo - UK - 1980
Available on the excellent 'Bored Teenagers volume 3' comp. 
7. KRUNCH - 'Expressen' -Demo - Sweden - 1989
Another excellent demo from the 'We're Back' retrospective on Massproduktion. 
8. THE RAMONES - 'Sheena Is A Punk Rocker' - Sire 7" - USA - 1977
One of the classic Ramones singles. 
9. THE DILS - 'Citizen' - Live - USA - 1978
The best Dils song that never got cut in the studio. Available on the Bacchus Archives CD 'Dils Dils Dils'. 
10. THE MEMBERS - 'Flying Again' - Virgin 7" - UK - 1980
One of their later singles. 
11. THE EXECUTE - 'The Voice' - Japan Record Co. LP - Japan - 1983
One of their tracks from the classic 'Great Punk Hits' comp. 
12. NO WAY - 'Crazy Carol Carter' - Demo - UK - 1980
Another one from the excellent 'Bored Teenagers volume 3' comp. 
13. SPARKS - 'Tips For Teens' - RCA LP - UK - 1981
I was grooving out to 'Whomp That Sucker' the other day, practicing my falsetto and contemplating the merits of a Hitler moustache, when I thought,  'Hmmm, I should blog some of this crazy stuff!'  So here goes! 
14. THE RAMONES - 'Pinhead' - Sire LP - USA - 1977
Another track from 'Leave Home'. 
15. THE DRONES - 'Sad So Sad' - Valer LP - UK - 1977 
Another track from 'Further Temptations' 
16. THE EXECUTE - 'Spunk Out' - DOA 7" - Japan - 1983 
And another track from 'Hardcore Temptation'. 
17. JOHNNY REBEL & THE PADDED CELL - 'Take A Stand' - Caprice LP - USA - 1991 
Possibly lacks a catchy chorus, but you can get the whole thing here. 
18. CLAY FAV - 'Air Lakeland' - Clay Fav 7" - UK - 1979
From their sole 'Consignment Stock' E.P. 
19. THE DILS - 'Blow Up' - Demo - USA - 1977

A third track from 'Leave Home'. 
21. SPARKS - 'Wacky Women' - RCA LP - UK - 1981 
And another from 'Whomp That Sucker'. 
22. THE MEMBERS - 'Normal People' - Virgin LP - UK - 1980
One of the better tracks from '1980 - The Choice Is Yours'. 
23. THE MYSTERIOUS FOOTSTEPS - 'Brain Damage' - Demo - UK - 1980
Another great demo from 'Bored Teenagers Volume 3'. 
24. THE EXECUTE - 'Sag' - Japan record Co. - Japan - 1983
Their other track from 'Great Punk Hits'. 
25. THE RAMONES - 'California Sun' - Sire LP - USA - 1977
This one replaced 'Carbona Not Glue' on 'Leave Home' when they were threatened with legal action over the song.

  1. I love the Drones and Upstarts. I dig some Members tunes too. I was just reading about them in the book that just came out about The Ruts.
