The Best of Brought To Life - 245

1. RADIO - 'Kuj, Kuj Dok Je Vruće' - Diskoton LP - Yugoslavia - 1981

This would have made a great Eurovision entry. I'd have voted for it anyway. From Sarajevo (Bosnia & Hercegovina) and their sole album 'Rampampila'.

2. THE ROUSERS - 'Leave Us Alone' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980

The Rousers first album 'A Treat Of New Beat' is a powerpop classic. More tracks later.

3. EDDIE & THE HOT RODS - 'Teenage Depression' - Island LP - UK - 1976

Whereas I was never that fussed on Eddie & The Hot Rods' debut, but the title track is worth an airing.

4. PANKRTI - 'Greva Drugam' - ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1982

From their disappointing (compared to 'Dolgcajt') second album 'Državni Ljubimci'.

5. PROTES BENGT - 'Hjälp Snuten' - Röj Records 7" - Sweden - 1986

A bit of light relief. From 'In Bengt We Trust'.

6. THE SAINTS - 'Kissin' Cousins' - EMI Harvest LP - Australia - 1977

Just watched the 'Great Australian Albums' doc featuring '(I'm) Stranded' (thanks again Gary). Essential viewing. So much so that you're getting all the tracks I left off first time around.

7. T.N.T. - 'Deberias Tener Cuidado' - DRO LP - Spain - 1983

Another track from 'Manifiesto Guernica'.

8. THE ROUSERS - 'Intensive Caren' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980

A second track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.

9. PANKRTI - 'Gora' - ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1984

Their third studio LP the 'Rdeči Album' was a welcome return to form.

10. EDDIE & THE HOT RODS - 'Quit This Town' - Island LP - UK -1977

We could never understand why there was no Eddie in the band. From second album 'Life On The Line'.

11. THE URGE - 'Bobby' - Cönsumer Disk 7" - UK - 1980

Their debut single, the better of the two.

12. THE SAINTS - 'Story Of Love' - EMI Harvest LP - Australia - 1977

One of the slower cuts from '(I'm) Stranded'.

13. PANKRTI - 'Slavni Razglas' - ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1984

The opening track from the 'Rdeči Album'.

14. THE ROUSERS - 'Nice And Friendly People' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980

A third track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.

15. RADIO - 'Suze' - Diskoton LP - Yugoslavia - 1981

Another wonderfully jaunty piece from 'Rampampila'.

16. PROTES BENGT - 'Satsa' - Röj Records 7" - Sweden - 1986

Crash-bash-crash-bash-growl-end. From 'In Bengt We Trust'.

17. PANKRTI - 'Namesto Tebe' - ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1981

This is the lead song from their 1981 double single.

18. THE ROUSERS - 'People To Meet' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980

A fourth track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.

19. RADIO - 'Opširna Nedjelja' - Diskoton LP - Yugoslavia - 1981

A third track from 'Rampampila'.

20. THE URGE - 'Revolving Boy' - Cönsumer Disk 7" - UK - 1980

The follow up to 'Bobby'. Sank without trace.

21. EDDIE & THE HOT RODS - 'Do Anything You Wanna Do' - Island 7" - UK - 1977

Ah, crackly vinyl. Remember that? Their crowning glory. Performance from the Marc show here.

22. THE ROUSERS - 'Lost And Broken Hearted' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980

A fifth track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.

23. THE SAINTS - 'Messin' With The Kid' - EMI Harvest LP - Australia - 1977

Classic Brisbane blues. From '(I'm) Stranded', of course.

24. PROTES BENGT - 'Vingmutter' - Röj Records 7" - Sweden - 1986

About 25 times shorter than the previous track.

25. PANKRTI - 'Bandiera Rossa' - ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1984

Pankrti covering the socialist classic. You can guess which album this is from.
