The Best of Brought To Life - 116

1. THE RIVALS - 'Future Rights' - Ace 7" - UK - 1979
Their debut single. Read the story at Bored Teenagers. 
2. THE VICE CREEMS - 'No Passion' - Flaccid LP - UK - 1978

This week's comp. in the spotlight is 'Aylesbury Goes Flaccid'. This was the opening track. 
3. CINECYDE - 'Gutless Radio' - Tremor 7" - UK - 1977

Another debut single. A bit long but the sleeve has a neat front/back picture combo to compensate. 
4. DIE ROTEN ROSEN - 'Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weeny Honolulu Strand Bikini' - Virgin LP - Germany - 1987

No prizes for who's behind 'Never Mind The Hosen Here's Die Roten Rosen'. An album of sprightly cover versions. All together now: 'Da, da, da, da, da-da-da, da, da, da!' 
5. ROCYN - 'Sosej Bins A Chips' - Fflach 7" - UK - 1982

And no prizes for translating the Welsh here either. Their only single. 
6. BLITZKRIEG BOP - 'U.F.O.' - Lightning 7" - UK - 1978

Second single before disbanding shortly afterwards. 
7. THE CHRONICS - 'Test-Tube Baby' - Nuclear 7" - USA - 1978

'Daddy says no but momma says maybe'. Another lone single. 
8. THE INANIMATE OBJECTS - 'Intellicide' - Freeway 7" - USA - 1982

From their E.P. of the same name. Yet another sole 7". 
9. THE SPEEDOS - 'She's A Shocker' - Flaccid LP - UK - 1978

Track 2 on 'Aylesbury Goes Flaccid'. 
10. MODERN WARFARE - 'Delivered' - Bemisbrain 7" - USA - 1980

Long Beach legends. From their debut E.P. 
11. BOB - 'Thomas Edison' - Dumb 7" - USA - 1980

Meanwhile further up the coast in Frisco, Bob were bashing out this synth-happy ditty. The other side is worthy too. 
12. THE HAIRCUTS - 'Do Remember L-L-Longwick' - Flaccid LP - UK - 1978

A third track from 'Aylesbury Goes Flaccid'. 
13. DIE ROTEN ROSEN - 'Alle Mädchen Wollen Küssen' - Virgin LP - Germany - 1987

Another from 'Never Mind The Hosen'. The Peter Krauss original can be heard here. 
14. MODERN WARFARE - 'No Passion' - Bemisbrain 7" - USA - 1981

One from their second E.P. 
15. THE CHRONICS - 'Calling All Cardinals' - Nuclear 7" - USA - 1978

The other side of 'Test-Tube Baby'. 
16. THE ANAL SURGEONS - 'Wide Boy' - Flaccid LP - UK - 1978

A fourth from 'Aylesbury Goes Flaccid'. Read more here. But what does an anal surgeon do??? 
17. ROCYN - 'Plant 67' - Fflach 7" - UK - 1982

The flipside of 'Sosej Bins A Chips'. 
18. THE PAGANS - 'I Juvenile' - Drome 7" - USA - 1979

The flipside of 'Not Now No Way'. 
19. MODERN WARFARE - 'Suburban Death Row' - Bemisbrain 7" - USA - 1981

The flipside of 'Future Rights'. 
21. DIE ROTEN ROSEN - 'Zwei Mädchen Aus Germany' - Virgin LP - Germany - 1987

Hmmm, Gisela and Monica . . . I think I knew them . . . 
22. BOB - The Things That You Do' - Dumb 7" - USA - 1980

The other side of 'Thomas Edison'. 
23. BLITZKRIEG BOP - 'Viva Bobby Joe' - Lightning 7" - UK - 1978

The flipside of 'U.F.O.' - a version of the Equals' second best track (and 'Baby Come Back' is not in my thoughts here). Another band on this sampler covered the best track on a live album. 
24. THE INANIMATE OBJECTS - 'The New One' - Freeway 7" - USA - 1982

Another from their 5-song E.P. 
25. ROBERT AND THE REMOULDS - 'L.A.G.O.C.O.' - Flaccid LP - UK - 1978
