The Best of Brought To Life - 206

1. 1978 - 'Elektroninen Xtaasi' - Love LP- Finland - 1978

We haven't heard much from Finland for a while so I'll begin this comp with the opening track from the 'Pohjalla' sampler from Love records. If they recorded anything else, I haven't heard of it, though some members were also in Sehr Schnell (same comp) so I'm assuming they were a short-lived band.

2. TELEVISION - 'See No Evil' - Elektra LP - USA - 1977

The opening track from debut album 'Marquee Moon'.

3. THE RAMONES - 'We're A Happy Family' - Sire LP - USA - 1977

One from third album 'Rocket To Russia'. 'Sittin' here in Queens, eating refried beans, we're in all the magazines gulpin' down thorazines.'

4. ERAZERHEAD - 'Shell Shock' - Flicknife 7" - UK - 1982

Their second single. Wish the drums sounded better.

5. THE ORDINARYS - 'Models' - Demo - UK - 1978
Available on the excellent 'Bored Teenagers Volume 4'.

6. ROLANDS GOSSKÖR - 'F.B.U.' - Uffe Ge Upp Skivor 7" - Sweden - 1983

The opening track from their debut E.P. 'Pigs Part One'.

7. LAUGHIN' NOSE - 'Get The Glory' - Japan Record Company LP - Japan - 1983

A nice bit of Japanese Oi! now from 'Great Punk Hits'.

8. SE - 'Ei Asfaltti Liiku' - Love LP- Finland - 1978

Another track from the 'Pohjalla' LP.

9. TELEVISION - 'Venus' - Elektra LP - USA - 1977

The stand-out track from 'Marquee Moon'. Love the guitar work.

10. ERAZERHEAD - 'Do The Geek' - Flicknife 7" - UK - 1983

My wish came true! The opening track from the 'Live At Klub Foot' E.P. with powerful drums (at last!)

11. THE RAMONES - 'I Wanna Be Well' - Sire LP - USA - 1977

After eating all those refried beans . . .  From 'Rocket To Russia'.

12. SEHR SCHNELL - 'Tekopyhä' - Love LP- Finland - 1978

A third track from 'Pohjalla'.

13. MATCHBOX - 'Midnite Dynamos' - Magnet 7" - UK - 1980

We haven't had much rockabilly on the blog, so grow your sideburns and get boppin'. Top Of The Pops performance here.

14. THE STEROID KIDDIES - 'Dumb Dumb' - Grundinga 7" - UK - 1979
From their sole E.P. although there's a retrospective album on Only Fit For The Bin. From Manchester. Read all about them here.

15. ROLANDS GOSSKÖR - 'Behov' - Studio Otukt 7" - Sweden - 1984

From their second E.P. 'Genom Barriären'. Quite a leap forward it was too.

16. ERAZERHEAD - 'The Stuttgart Stomp' - Flicknife 7" - UK - 1983

Another stomping track from the 'Live At Klub Foot' E.P.

17. THE RAMONES - 'I Can't Give You Anything' - Sire LP - USA - 1977

A third track from 'Rocket To Russia'.

18. THE MACHINES - 'Racing' - Demo - UK - 1978
Another of the many highpoints of 'Bored Teenagers Volume 4'.

19. LAUGHIN' NOSE - 'Perdition' - Japan Record Company LP - Japan - 1983

Their other track from 'Great Punk Hits'.

20. ERAZERHEAD - 'She Can Dance' - Flicknife 7" - UK - 1982

The flipside of 'Shell Shock'.

21. TELEVISION - 'Prove It' - Elektra LP - USA - 1977

Another track from 'Marquee Moon', also released as a 12" single coupled with 'Venus'.

22. PROBLEMS? - 'Tapan Aikaa' - Love LP- Finland - 1978

A fourth track from the 'Pohjalla' LP.

23. THE RAMONES - 'Ramona' - Sire LP - USA - 1977

Their penultimate single.

25. MATCHBOX - 'Buzz Buzz A Diddle It' - Magnet 7" - UK - 1979

A song about female masturbation that became an unlikely hit. Parp!
