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'.
