The Best of Brought To Life - 097

1. THE DAMNED - 'Problem Child' - Stiff LP - UK - 1977
The opening track from second album 'Music For Pleasure' which was also released as a single. Video here.
2. THE SEX PISTOLS - 'Holidays In The Sun' - Virgin LP - UK - 1977
The opening track from 'Never Mind The Bollocks', and a single, the riff of which sounded very much like that of an earlier single by another popular band. Answers on a postcard. Video here.
3. D.R.I. - 'I Don't Need Society' - Dirty Rotten 7" - USA - 1983
Ah, the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. From their debut 22-song E.P. which seemed like a lot of tracks at the time untitil bands deliberately tried to 'beat' it.
4. UNIFORM CHOICE - 'Screaming For Change' - Wishing Well LP - USA - 1986
Title track from the album of the same name. Sounds straight edge, is straight edge.
5. THE RAMONES - 'Psycho Therapy' - Sire 7" - USA - 1983
The most important thing about this one is the classic video.
6. THE DAMNED - 'Sick Of Being Sick' - Stiff 7" - UK - 1977
This was released on a freebie single coupled with 'Stretcher Case'. 5,000 made. Some were initially given away at the band's London Marquee Club first anniversary concerts, but when these were cut short further copies were given to fan club members and 250 were also given away as crossword puzzle prizes via the N.M.E. 
7. THE SEX PISTOLS - 'No Feelings' Virgin LP - UK - 1977
Another track from 'Never Mind The Bollocks'.
8. D.R.I. - 'Capitalist Suck'Dirty Rotten 7" - USA - 1983
Another from their debut 22-song E.P.  When they toured the UK, we all thought with songs like this and 'Money Stinks' that the tickets should have been cheaper.

Another from 'Music For Pleasure' which was also released as a single.

Another from 'Music For Pleasure'.
14. THE SEX PISTOLS - 'Anarchy In The U.K.'Virgin LP - UK - 1977
Another from 'Never Mind The Bollocks' which was also their debut single with a story that you all know.
