The Best of Brought To Life - 091

1. DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Forward To Death' - Cherry Red LP - USA - 1980
So, the final few samplers are weighted towards well-known bands, huh? This was intentional. It's the larger labels that usually take offence to blogs, despite all the free promotion and publicity, so if I was gonna get deleted I'd have much preferred it to happen near the end rather than right at the start. Anyway, this is from their debut album 'Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables', as if you didn't already know.
2. THE DICKIES - 'Pretty Please Me' - PVC MLP - 1983
Another cover from the Dickies, this time, of a fan club single released by L.A. powerpop legends The Quick. From 'Stukas Over Disneyland'.
3. 7 SECONDS - '5 Years Of Lies' - Squirtdown 7" - USA - 1983
One from their second E.P. 'Committed For Life'.
4. THE MONOCHROME SET - 'Fallout' - Peel Session - UK - 1979
Available on the 'Black And White Minstrels' CD. Live version here.
5. THE RUTS - 'Demolition Dancing' - Peel session - UK - 1980
Available on the 'Grin And Bear It' album.
6. THE REDUCERS - 'Nothing For Christmas' - Rave On 7" - USA - 1988
A sad tale from their 'Season's Greetings' Christmas single. Sniff.
7. PLASTIC MONEY - '1980, 1, 2, 3, 4' - Dinosaur LP - USA - 1984
From the 'Irony Of Solution' album. Nothing else on there sounds like this one, so unless it's bland new wave synth-pop you're after, don't bother.
8. DEAD KENNEDYS - 'When Ya Get Drafted' Cherry Red LP - USA - 1980
Another from 'Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables'.
9. THE DICKIES - 'She's A Hunchback' - PVC MLP - 1983
Another from 'Stukas'. They sure had an assortment of girlfriends, those boys.
10. 7 SECONDS - 'Drug Control' - Squirtdown 7" - USA - 1983
Another from 'Committed For Life'. 'Drugs make you turn on me, drugs will not set you free'. The trouble is they do, if only for a short while.
11. SWELL MAPS - 'Armadillo' - Peel session - UK - 1979
A track from their second Peel session. Laura Logic played sax on the other three tracks, but not this one.
12. WIRE - 'On Returning' - Peel session - UK - 1978
A track from their second Peel session.
13. DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Your Emotions' Cherry Red LP - USA - 1980
A third from 'Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables'. 'Frankenstein became a monster just like you, your scars only show when someone talks to you'.
14. CRASS - 'Shaved Women' - Peel session - UK - 1979
That's right, even Crass did a Peel session. I prefer this version to the single release.
15. 7 SECONDS - '#1 Rule' - Positive Force 7" - USA - 1985
From the 'Blasts From The Past' E.P. Recorded a couple of years earlier.
16. THE DICKIES - 'Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind' - PVC MLP - USA - 1983
A third from 'Stukas Over Disneyland'.
17. DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Let's Lynch The Landlord' Cherry Red LP - USA - 1980
A fourth from 'Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables'. This, along with other early live clips, can be found here.
18. THE RUTS - 'In A Rut' Peel session - UK - 1980
Another from their 1980 Peel session, and another which I prefer to the original single release.
19. BLITZKRIEG BOP - 'Radio' - Demo - UK - 1977
Available on the 'Top Of The Bops' CD on Overground.
20. 7 SECONDS - 'War In The Head' Positive Force 7" - USA - 1985
Another from the 'Blasts From The Past' E.P.
21. AIL SYMUDIAD - 'Ma Fiw 'sy Gyda Granville' - Self-released cassette - early '90s
A bit too late and slightly lightweight for the BTL comps, but it was included first time around so here it is again. From 'Ddy Mwfi'.
22. SWELL MAPS - 'Helicopter Spies' Peel session - UK - 1980
A track from their third Peel session.
23. THE DICKIES - 'If Stuart Could Talk' - PVC MLP - USA - 1983
A fourth from 'Stukas Over Disneyland'. About Leonard's dick. The evidence is here.
24. DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Chemical Warfare' Cherry Red LP - USA - 1980
A fifth from 'Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables'.
25. 7 SECONDS - 'These Boots' Positive Force 7" - USA - 1985
And finally, a nice little cover version from the 'Blasts From The Past' E.P. Nancy must be so proud.
