The Best of Brought To Life - 096

1. THE DAMNED - 'Neat Neat Neat' - Stiff LP - UK - 1977
First track from 'Damned Damned Damned'? Second single? Who cares, it's a belter! Supersonic performance here.
2. THE VARUKERS - 'Another Religion, Another War' - Riot City 12" - UK - 1984
Devastating thrash that was as good live as you'll hear here.
3. THE DRAGSTERS - 'Albino' - Union City 7" - UK - 1986
From Greenock in Scotland. First single of three. Dedicated to Chuck Wagon.
4. THE WARDENS - 'Tricky Girls' - Rocket LP - UK - 1979
From the '499 2139' compilation. You had to ring that number to speak to the record label in order to get a track on the album. I wonder how much it cost?
5. KRIMINELLA GITARRER - '36 Patroner' - Kloaak 7" - Sweden - 1979
Third single. To me, their best, though most people seem to disagree.
6. THE DAMNED - 'I Fall' - Stiff LP - UK - 1977
Another from 'Damned Damned Damned'.
7. CLIT - 'When The Leaves Are Falling' - Own Label 7" - Germany - 1980
The flipside of sole single 'Secondary Boulevard Talk' which I may or may not include later. Harder to find than the man in the boat itself.
8. SHITH - 'Tonight She's By My Side' - Loof 7" - Netherlands - 1980
Much overlooked sole single by these Spierdijk boys.
9. THE DIGITS - 'Winubee' - Digits 7" - USA - 1980
From Huntington Beach, from their only release - a 3-tracker.
10. THE PROBERS - 'I Saw You Looking' - Hyperion 7" - USA - 1980
First single, from Providence, Rhode Island. The rear sleeve gives credits for 'make-up design' and 'hair concepts'. How embarrassing.
11. THE DAMNED - New Rose' - Stiff LP - UK - 1977
First single or a track from 'Damned Damned Damned'? Doesn't matter, it's one of my all time top 10 songs. Video here.
12. THE VARUKERS - 'No Escape' Riot City 12" - UK - 1984
Another track from the 'Another Religion, Another War' E.P.
13. GENETIC CONTROL - 'Love Rat' - Generic 7" - Canada - 1984
From Montreal, from their 'First Impressions' E.P.
14. LIGHTNING RAIDERS - 'Made In Japan' - Demo - UK - 1980
This was supposed to be on an album release that never materialised. Available on the 'Sweet Revenge' CD.
15. THE TACONES - 'Rita' - Chapa Discos 7" - Spain - 1980
The flipside of 'Crónicas Del Bromuro', their debut single.
16. THE DAMNED - 'See Her Tonite' - Stiff LP - UK - 1977
A fourth from 'Damned Damned Damned'.
17. BOX OF FISH - 'Sex Cat Killer' - Method 7" - Australia - 1983
The superior flipside of 'Erosion'. What a 'Sex Cat Killer' is, is anyone's guess.
18. THE DRAGSTERS - 'Where Is The Hamburger Relish?' Union City 7" - UK - 1986
One of the tracks on the flipside of 'Albino'.
19. THE SKUNKS - 'The Mad Song' - Own Label 7" - Australia - 1982
From Adelaide, from the 'Scratch 'n' Sniff' E.P. In the credits they thank Elvis for dying and Mark Chapman for accuracy.
20. THE VARUKERS - 'Condemned To Death' Riot City 12" - UK - 1984
A third from 'Another Religion, Another War'.
21. THE DAMNED - 'Help' - Stiff 7" - UK - 1976
The flipside of 'New Rose' - a Beatles cover, no less.
22. GENETIC CONTROL - '1984' Generic 7" - Canada - 1984
Another from their 'First Impressions' E.P.
23. PUBLIC ENEMY - 'So Inhuman' - Goldfields LP - Australia - 1980
From the 'Goldfields Rock' Victoria compilation.
24. CLIT - 'Secondary Boulevard Talk' Own Label 7" - Germany - 1980
The A-side I said I might just include earlier.
25. THE DAMNED - 'So Messed Up' - Stiff LP - UK - 1977
And to end with, a fifth from 'Damned Damned Damned'.
