The Best of Brought To Life - 107

1. THE TOOLS - 'Hard Wark' - Subterranean 7" - USA - 1980

Their second single. An anti-war piece if you're wondering what 'Wark' means. Think about it.

2. THE RADIATORS FROM SPACE - 'Love Detective' - Chiswick 7" - UK - 1977

The flipside of 'Television Screen'. Corny but cute.

3. LES SPURTS - 'Je Suis Fiere De Mon Grand Père' - Le Kiosque D' Orphee 7" - France - 1982

The flipside of sole 7" 'Petit Papa Fasciste'. 
4. THE QUEERS - 'At The Mall' - Doheny 7" - USA - 1984

A track from their 'Kicked Out Of The Webelos' E.P. Crash those cymbals!

5. ED GEIN'S CAR - 'Too Old To Die Young' - EGC 7" - USA - 1984

From the flipside of 'Brain Dead Baby'.

6. THE DODGEMS - 'My First Divorce' - Demo - UK - 1979

From their 'Anthology' CD. Get it here.

7. THE VAINS - 'School Jerks' - No Threes 7" - USA - 1980

'School work, I'm going beserk!' With a great horror comic sleeve.

8. V.S. - 'Leather Complex' - Monkey 7" - USA - 1980

Starring Olga de Volga, pre-Lewd. Not sure the vocals work 100% but what the hell.

9. ELECTRIC DEADS - 'Order' - Electro Static 7" - Denmark - 1982

The opening track from their first E.P.

10. THE REBELS - 'Mental Disaster' - Musk Project 7" - Switzerland - 1979

One from the flipside of 'Mayday'.

11. KALASHNIKOV - 'Læderhalse' - Hub 7" - Denmark - 1984

That's more like it - sung in Danish - welded vowels and all!

12. THE FEEDERZ - 'Stop, You're Killing Me' - Anxiety 7" - USA - 1980

One from the 'Jesus' E.P. Quirky jerky madness.

13. THE RADIATORS - 'Million Dollar Hero' - Chiswick 7" - UK - 1978

5th single, having long since shortened their name. Their masterpiece. Should have been a hit.

14. THE DODGEMS - 'Lord Lucan Is Missing' - Peel Session - UK - 1979

They recorded umpteen versions of this song. I plumped for the Peel version. 'I don't know!'

15. ELECTRIC DEADS - '30 Years' - Electro Static 7" - Denmark - 1982

The opening track from their second E.P. A musical progression which didn't stop there.

16. THE PRAMS - 'Don't Drop Any Bombs On Me' - Wabbit 7" - UK - 1981
A hilarious ramble, the flipside of 'A's OK'. Let Bruce tell you more.

17. THE QUEERS - 'I Don't Wanna Work' - Doheny 7" - USA - 1984
Me neither. Another from the 'Webelos' E.P.

18. KALASHNIKOV - 'Schlüters Kabinet' - Hub 7" - Denmark - 1984
Another from their 3-song 7".

19. THE HATED - 'Seize The Middle East' - Stress 7" - USA - 1981

Still topical, 33 years later! The superior flipside of 'Innocent People'.

20. THE DOGS - 'Rot 'n' Roll' - Rave-Up 7" - USA - 1977
Not the Detroit Dogs but the Iowa Dogs. Nevertheless, a similar Stooges-type affair.

21. VANDAALIT - 'Vaimosi On Noita' - Poko LP - Finland - 1981 
From their second album 'Raaputtamalla Rokkia'. Quite generic, but the handclaps make it worthy.

22. THE TOOLS - 'Adopted Procedure' -Work 7" - USA - 1979
The flipside of debut single 'Smoke Filled Rooms'. Nice guitar.

23. THE RADIATORS - 'Enemies' - Chiswick 7" - UK - 1977
Second single released after the name change.

24. V.S. - 'Magnetic Heart' - Monkey 7" - USA - 1980
The other side of 'Leather Complex'. A little lacklustre but Olga took it on to The Lewd who completely nailed it on 'American Wino'.

25. ELECTRIC DEADS - 'Anti-Sex' -Electro Static 7" - Denmark - 1982
The title track from the second E.P.
