The Best of Brought To Life - 186

1. L.S.D. - 'L.S.D.' - ADK 7" - Japan - 1984
We haven't had any gnarly Japanese stuff for a while, so enter L.S.D. This is actually two tracks rolled into one, but the first has a long title in Japanese characters hence I've not bothered to list it.  From their 'Destroy' Flexi E.P.
2. THE BOYS - 'I Call Your Name' - Nems LP - UK - 1977
Back to the excellent Boys eponymous debut album.
3. THE VOLUMATIX - 'The Day The Surf Stood Still / Day To Day' - Republic Recording 12" - USA - 1982
Another two tracks rolled into one, but this time some surf rock from their 'Volume One' E.P.
4. DIE KREUZEN - 'I'm Tired' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1984
And back to their classic eponymous debut album.
5. SODOM - 'Frog' - Japanese cassette - Japan - 1984
Sodom's debut release was a bit of a muddy mess, but amongst the grinding metal dirges are some classy thrashers such as this one. 
6. TEENAGE & THE WILDLIFE - 'Colours' - Self-released 7" - UK - 1982
The superior flipside of sole single 'Get The Hell Outta Here'.
7. DIE KREUZEN - 'Get' em' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1984
A second track from 'Die Kreuzen'.
8. THE BOYS - 'I Don't Care' - Nems LP - UK - 1977
Slightly quicker than their earlier single version, but not necessarily better.
9. THE BUZZCOCKS - 'Love Battery' - United Artists LP - UK - 1978
And while we're on debut albums, here's one from 'Another Music In A Different Kitchen'.
10. SLIGHT SECONDS - 'Where Were You?' - Object LP - UK - 1980
From thier sole release, the 'Waiting Room' comp. which only has two other bands on it.
11. DIE KREUZEN - 'Hate Me' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1984
A third track from 'Die Kreuzen'.
12. THE BOYS - 'No Money' - Nems LP - UK - 1977
Another track from their eponymous debut album.
13. SODOM - 'Vanish' - Japanese cassette - Japan - 1984
Another from their debut cassette.
14. THE FITS - 'Nothing And Nowhere' - Rondelet LP - UK - 1982
One from their debut album 'You're Nothing, You're Nowhere'.
15. DIE KREUZEN - 'In School' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1984
A fourth track from 'Die Kreuzen'.
16. L.S.D. - 'Kill You' - ADK 7" - Japan - 1984
Another track from their 'Destroy' flexi.
17. ANDY STRATTON - 'I Don't Know' - All The Madmen 7" - UK - 1980
Sole single. Recorded at Spaceward.
18. DIE KREUZEN - 'Fuckups' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1984
A fifth track from 'Die Kreuzen'.
19. THE BOYS - 'Kiss Like A Nun' - Nems LP - UK - 1977
How do they know? I'm guessing they're guessing.
20. SODOM - 'Construct' - Japanese cassette - Japan - 1984
A third from their brutal debut.
21. DIE KREUZEN - 'Live Wire' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1984
A sixth track from 'Die Kreuzen'.
22. THE FITS - 'Prostitute' - Rondelet LP - UK - 1982
'Love Battery', 'Kiss Like A Nun', Prostitute', 'Frog', it's all sexual extremes today!
23. THE BUZZCOCKS - 'Nothing Left' - United Artists LP - UK - 1978
Here's one from 'Love Bites'.
24. DIE KREUZEN - 'Not Anymore' - Touch And Go LP - USA - 1984

  1. Big fan of early Boys and Buzzocks, but just couldn't get into the 2014 releases by either band.
