The Best of Brought To Life - 236

1. THE FUZZTONES - 'Cinderella' - ROIR cassette - USA - 1985

We haven't had a whole lot of garage/psyche on these comps. This is from 'Garage Sale', one of those ROIR samplers which you could only get in cassette form in conjunction with Goldmine magazine.

2. RAXOLA - '84's Man' - Phillips LP - Belgium - 1978

This album is off the radar for most people but it's far more consistent than most well-known '70s efforts.

3. IVY GREEN - 'I'm Sure We're Gonna Make It' - Pogo LP - Netherlands - 1978

Well, they didn't. But their debut album was entertaining enough to the punk rock crowd and this was the opening track.

4. THE MINUTEMEN - 'Search' - SST LP - USA - 1981

The opening track from their first twelve-incher 'The Punch Line'.

5. THE GRAVEDIGGER V - 'She Got' - ROIR cassette - USA - 1985

Another '60s inspired track from 'Garage Sale'.

6. RAXOLA - 'Anxious' - Phillips LP - Belgium - 1978

Another track from their self-titled album.

7. JOHNNY & THE JUMPER CABLES - 'Not Your Kind' - Throbbing Lobster LP - USA - 1984

Another cool garage-style comp was 'Nobody Gets On The Guest List'.

8. IVY GREEN - 'Hunting' - Pogo LP - Netherlands - 1978

Another track from their self-titled debut.

9. THE VIPERS - 'Who Dat?' - ROIR cassette - USA - 1985

A third track from 'Garage Sale'.

10. RAXOLA - 'Kill Your Son' - Phillips LP - Belgium - 1978

And a third from their self-titled album.

11. THE UNDERACHIEVERS - 'I'll Be There For You' - Throbbing Lobster LP - USA - 1984

A second from 'Nobody Gets On The Guest List'.

12. IVY GREEN - 'Sue' - Pogo LP - Netherlands - 1978

A third from 'Ivy Green'. A very funny song.

13. THE MOSQUITOS - 'Darn Well' - ROIR cassette - USA - 1985

A fourth from 'Garage Sale'. It's all very derivative but most of these songs are great, so who cares?

14. RAXOLA - 'Am I Guilty?' - Phillips LP - Belgium - 1978

He probably is. From their self-titled album.

15. CHAIN LINK FENCE - 'The Happening' - Throbbing Lobster LP - USA - 1984

Another track from 'Nobody Gets On The Guest List'.

16. THE MINUTEMEN - 'Boiling' - SST LP - USA - 1981

A second from 'The Punch Line'.

17. THE BOYS FROM NOWHERE - 'Beg' - ROIR cassette - USA - 1985

A fifth from 'Garage Sale'.

18. RAXOLA - 'Old Rat' - Phillips LP - Belgium - 1978

And a fifth from their self-titled album.

19. IVY GREEN - 'Troubles' - Pogo LP - Netherlands - 1978

Back to their debut masterpiece.

20. CHRISTMAS - 'Our Mutual Friend' - Throbbing Lobster LP - USA - 1984

A third from 'Nobody Gets On The Guest List'.

21. THE PANDORAS - 'Hot Generation' - ROIR cassette - USA - 1985

A sixth from 'Garage Sale'.

22. RAXOLA - 'Wildcat' - Phillips LP - Belgium - 1978

And a sixth from their self-titled album, but we're not finished yet!

23. THE MINUTEMEN - 'The Struggle' - SST LP - USA - 1981

A third from 'The Punch Line'.

24. IVY GREEN - 'Sex On The Radio' - Pogo LP - Netherlands - 1978

A bit repetitive this one, but then it's supposed to be . . .

25. THE TELL-TALE HEARTS - 'That's Your Problem' - ROIR cassette - USA - 1985

Yet another from 'Garage Sale'.
