The Best of Brought To Life - 137

1. LIPSTICK KILLERS - 'Hindu Gods Of Love' - Lost In Space 7" - Australia - 1979

Formed from the ashes of the Psycho Surgeons, this Aussie psyche band moved to L.A. for a year but nothing happened so they split for a while. It's got a slight dropout at 0:49 but it's the only rip I have. Deal with it.

2. LAST STAND - 'Just A Number' - Silly Symbol 7" - UK - 1981

Sole single. 500 pressed. Heartless (but good) powerpop from Bromsgrove.

3. RUEFREX - 'Capital Letters' - Kabuki 7" - UK - 1983

Originally spelled Roofwrecks, y'know. This second 7" was released years after their Good Vibrations debut, but it's louder and punker and all the better for it.

4. T.S.O.L. - 'American Zone' - Enigma LP - USA - 1984

From third album 'Change Today', the first release with Joe Wood on vocals. The music went in a different direction but they could still write a good song.

5. ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCS - 'We Want It Legalised' - Roach 7" - UK - 1979

From their debut single, out of Rochdale. The 'East Lancs' is a road between Liverpool and Manchester. They were potheads, hence the accident.

6. BETONG HYSTERIA - 'Snuten Kommer' - Mind Expanding 7" - Norway - 1982

From their sole E.P. 'Spontan Abort'.

7. THE MIRRORS - 'Out Of Order' - Gozira 7" - Japan - 1979

Second single. There's a retro CD out there called 'Real State' on Japanese label 'Captain Trip'. Good luck with that one.

8. THE BTP FOLDERS - 'Radio' - Future Earth 7" - UK - 1980
Sole single. Powerpop heaven.

9. THE WEIRDOS - 'Teenage' - Demo - USA - 1978
One of their earlier recordings. Available on the 'Weird World Volume One' CD.

10. ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCS - 'Back End Of Nowhere' - Roach 7" - UK - 1980
Second single. Search out the 'Shotguns and Hotshots' album which contains most of their stuff.

11. THE ZEROS - 'Getting Nowhere Fast' - Test-Tube 7" - USA - 1980
From their third 7" - the superior flipside.

12. THE LAST WORDS - 'Today's Kidz' - Remand 7" - Australia - 1979
Second single. They moved to London but the scene had moved on.

13. BETONG HYSTERIA - 'Du Ett Er Ledd I' - Mind Expanding 7" - Norway - 1982

A second track from the 'Spontan Abort' E.P.

14. THE LIGHTNING RAIDERS - 'Criminal World' - Revenge 7" - UK - 1981
Yet another second single. The 'Sweet Revenge' CD is what you need.

15. T.S.O.L. - 'In Time' - Enigma LP - USA - 1984
Another track from 'Change Today'.

16. ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCS - 'Tell Me What You Mean' - Roach 7" - UK - 1979
The other side of their debut 7".

17. THE STAINS - 'Emotional Pills' - Redball 7" - UK - 1979
From their sole 7". Not to be confused with any of the U.S. bands of the same name (see next comp).

18. SHAG NASTY - 'No Bullshit, Just Rock 'n' Roll' - Shag Nasty 7" - UK - 1979
Another sole 7" (at the time). Read all about them here.

19. BOB - 'Buddy Boy' - Dumb 7" - USA - 1982
From the flipside of second single 'Super Bingo' (which wasn't actually a song). Ah-oooo, oo-oo!

20. THE FALL - 'It's The New Thing' - Step Forward 7" - UK - 1978
Second single time again. Anti-trend, anti-most things.

21. BETONG HYSTERIA - 'Sipoene Ser Deg' - Mind Expanding 7" - Norway - 1982

A third from 'Spontan Abort'.

22. NOVAK - 'Oh Farrah' - Dumb 7" - USA - 1979
Third single which was a new (and better) version of his debut.

23. THE MIRRORS - 'Block Out' - Gozira 7" - Japan - 1979
The flipside of 'Out Of Order'. More ska than the A-side.

24. ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCS - 'Rat Race' - Roach 7" - UK - 1980
The flipside of 'Back End Of Nowhere'.

25. T.S.O.L. - 'Flowers By The Door' - Enigma LP - USA - 1984
The classic of 'Change Today'.
