The Best of Brought To Life - 171

1. THE DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Kill The Poor' - Cherry Red 7" - USA - 1980
Their third single. 'What a thing to say!' my parents said. So I moved out.
2. BILLY SYNTH & THE TURNUPS - 'Loud And Boisterous' - Tragik LP - USA - 1983
From second album 'Disorderly Conduct'. Anyone got the first album or any of the 7"s?
3. CINECYDE - 'Better Dead' - Tremor LP - USA - 1982
One from debut album 'I Left My Heart In Detroit City'. I still don't know anyone who's got second album 'Who Goes There?'
4. THE 222's - 'Hold Up' - Demo - Canada - 1979
One of Montreal's finest. Available on retro albums on Rave Up and Sonik's Chicken Shrimp. No, really.
5. THE DEPRESSIONS - 'Do Something' - Barn LP - UK - 1978
From their sole classic eponymous album. A taster for the next sampler.
6. THE MODERN MINDS - 'Theresa's World' - Bumstead 7" - Canada - 1981
From their sole 7", though some shrewd dude in Japan has since bashed out a full album's worth of their tunes, which I haven't heard.
7. CARSICKNESS - 'What To Do' - T.M.I. Products LP - USA - 1980
From first album 'Shooting Above The Garbage'. An interesting band.
8. JUNGLE A FERRAILLE - 'Isabelle' - CBS 7" - France - 1982
Their second (and final) single.
9. LEW LEWIS REFORMER - 'Win Or Lose' - Stiff 7" - UK - 1979
Another single from Canvey Island's favourite son.
10. EPICYCLE - 'Underground' - Cirkle 7" - USA - 1980
One from their first E.P.  From Chicago, Illinois.
11. THE 222's - 'She Want's Revenge' - Demo - Canada - 1979
Another track from either of the two retro albums.
12. THE DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Hyperactive Child' - Alternative Tentacles 12" - USA - 1981
One from 'In God We Trust, Inc'. You can get the original studio session for this on DVD. Here's the proof.
13. CINECYDE - 'Enemy Man' - Tremor LP - USA - 1982
A second track from 'I Left My Heart In Detroit City'.
14. BILLY SYNTH & THE TURNUPS - 'Walking Skeletons' - Tragik LP - USA - 1983
And a second track from 'Disorderly Conduct'.
15. CARSICKNESS - 'Faster' - T.M.I. Products LP - USA - 1980
The opening track from 'Shooting Above The Garbage'.
16. NICK LOWE - 'So It Goes' - Stiff 7" - UK - 1976
Nick's first single. And Stiff's, if I remember rightly.
17. THE 222's - 'First To The Third Round' - Demo - Canada - 1979
A third demo track from either of the two retro albums.
18. THE DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Stealing People's Mail' - Cherry Red LP - USA - 1980
One from debut album 'Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables'. There are 83 versions of this so there's no excuse for not having one.
19. THE CHINA DOLLS - 'One Hit Wonder' - Speed 7" - UK - 1982
Sole single, of sorts. Go see Bruce for the flipside and a link to the whole story.
20. EPICYCLE - 'You're Not Gonna Get It' - Cirkle 7" - USA - 1980
One from their third E.P. of the same name.
21. NICK LOWE - 'Heart Of The City' - Stiff 7" - UK - 1976
The flipside of 'So It Goes'.
22. BILLY SYNTH & THE TURNUPS - 'Lord In Black' - Tragik LP - USA - 1983
A third track from 'Disorderly Conduct'.
23. THE 222's - 'Fun Fun Fun' - Demo - Canada - 1979
A fourth track from either of the two retro albums.
24. THE DEAD KENNEDYS - 'Funland At The Beach' - Cherry Red LP - USA - 1980
Another from 'Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables'.
25. CINECYDE - 'I Don't Want Nothin' From You' - Tremor LP - USA - 1982
