The Best of Brought To Life - 243

1. MANSON YOUTH - 'Lineal' / 'Set Up'Zorro LP - Germany - 1986
We'll start this one with a double header from their excellent split album with Hostages Of Ayatollah.
2. THE OFFBEATS - 'Happiness' - St Valentine LP - USA - 1985
Lots more Offbeats on this one. This was the opening track from their second E.P. 'I Can See Your House From Here'.
3. KUD IDIJOTI - 'Maja'Produkcija Slovenija 7" - Yugoslavia - 1987
Back to Yugoslavia (Pula, Croatia) for the opening track from their 'Bolje Izdati Ploču Nego Prijatelja' E.P.
4. THE HEARTBREAKERS - 'Get Off The Phone' - Max's Kansas City LP - USA - 1979
When I posted a track from Live at Max's Kansas City recently, one of my avid readers was horrified that I didn't include this one and 'Chinese Rocks' too as they were clearly better versions than those on 'L.A.M.F.'  He may or may not have a point, but I do like to reward such passion.
5. HOSTAGES OF AYATOLLAH - 'Der Spion' - Zorro LP - Germany - 1986
From the split album with Manson Youth.
6. T.N.T. - 'Gilmore 77' - DRO LP - Spain - 1983
One from their debut album 'Manifiesto Guernica'.
7. PARAF - 'Narodna Pjesma' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
Our second Yugo band came from Rijeka, Croatia. This is from their debut album 'A Dan Je Tako Lijepo Počeo'.
8. THE OFFBEATS - 'Bullshit Now' - Relativity LP - USA - 1987
From 'The Evolution Of The Stickman'.
9. KUD IDIJOTI - 'Cirkus'Produkcija Slovenija 7" - Yugoslavia - 1987
A second track from 'Bolje Izdati Ploču Nego Prijatelja'.
10. THE VACANTS - 'B.A.D.' - Disques Festival LP - UK - 1977
From another faux-punk album. They didn't really have to spell it out.
11. HOSTAGES OF AYATOLLAH - 'Amok Bei Aldi'Zorro LP - Germany - 1986
A song about running riot in a supermarket. From the split album.
12. THE NEW TOYS - 'Say It' - Mark LP - USA - 1982
Some powerpop from their sole album of the same name.
13. THE OFFBEATS - 'Do You Know Bob Sablack?' - Demo - USA - 1984
Available on 'Dumb Looks Still Free'.
14. KUD IDIJOTI - 'Vesna'Produkcija Slovenija cassette - Yugoslavia - 1986
This one is from the cassette-only 'Legendarni U Živo'.
15. MANSON YOUTH - 'Don't Lock Me Up'Zorro LP - Germany - 1986
A third track from their split album with H.O.A.
16. PARAF - 'T Kao Krava'RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980
Another track from 'A Dan Je Tako Lijepo Počeo'.
17. HOSTAGES OF AYATOLLAH - 'Teheran'Zorro LP - Germany - 1986
Another great track from their split album.
18. THE HEARTBREAKERS - 'Chinese Rocks'Max's Kansas City LP - USA - 1979
This one probably is better than the 'L.A.M.F.' version. The lyrics are a whole lot dirtier!
19. KUD IDIJOTI - 'Lutke Na Koncu'Produkcija Slovenija 7" - Yugoslavia - 1987
From their '...Budimo Solidarni - S Bogatima...' E.P.
20. THE OFFBEATS - 'My Dilemma'Relativity LP - USA - 1987
From 'The Evolution Of The Stickman' LP.

From their debut album 'Girl Senza Paura'.
22. HOSTAGES OF AYATOLLAH - 'Mullah Mullah'Zorro LP - Germany - 1986
Another track from their split album.
23. KUD IDIJOTI - 'O' Bella Ciao'Produkcija Slovenija 7" - Yugoslavia - 1987
Another track from their '...Budimo Solidarni - S Bogatima...' E.P.  Traditional anti-fascist revolutionary songs will always have a special place in my heart.
24. REMO VOOR - 'Toilet Love' - Strawberry 7" - Germany - 1979
The dirty version of 'Chinese Rocks' got me thinking of this one. The flipside of sole single 'Frogrammer'.
25. THE VACANTS - 'Good Guys Don't Wear White' - Disques Festival LP - UK - 1977
A Standells cover, if you didn't already know.
