The Best of Brought To Life - 199

1. SADO-NATION - 'Messed Up Mixed Up' - Brainstem LP - USA - 1983

Portland punk was not just about Poison Idea. 'We're Not Equal' is up there in my top 10 punk albums and this was the opening track.

2. RATTUS - 'Paskantakaa Housuihinne' - Poko 12" - Finland - 1981

The first time we got the 'classic' Rattus sound. From the 'Rattus On Rautaa' E.P.

3. STIFF LITTLE FINGERS - 'Wait And See' - Chrysalis LP - UK - 1980
Second album 'Nobody's Heroes' was a lot cleaner than 'Inflammable Material' but the songs were still up there.

4. RUDIMENTARY PENI - 'The Psycho Squat' - Corpus Christi LP - UK - 1983
'Couldn't stand dummy and maddy no more . . .'  From 'Death Church', of course.

5. THE VALVES - 'It Don't Mean Nothing' - Demo - UK - 1978
Can't believe this first-wave band never got to release an album. This is an early version of their third single.

6. KRUNCH - 'Panik' - Massproduktion 12" - Sweden - 1985
From 'Mys & Kel' (the one with the flying penis on the sleeve).

7. TENPOLE TUDOR - 'Let The Four Winds Blow' - Stiff LP - UK - 1981
The title track from their second album of the same name. 'Rup-la-la-la-diddley day!'

8. SADO-NATION - 'Armageddon' - Brainstem LP - USA - 1983

Track 2 from 'We're Not Equal'. 

9. RATTUS - 'Viimeinen Ilotulitusraketti' - Poko LP - Finland - 1983

This one's from 'WC Räjähtää' (the toilet blows up!)

Their views on marriage. From 'Death Church'.

Another of their early demos.

13. SADO-NATION - 'We're Not Equal' - Brainstem LP - USA - 1983

The opening track from 'Uskonto On Vaara'.

15. STIFF LITTLE FINGERS - 'At The Edge' - Chrysalis LP - UK - 1980
A third from 'Nobody's Heroes' which was also a single. Here's a TOTP performance with one of the most indifferent audiences ever.

16. RUDIMENTARY PENI - 'Poppycock' - Corpus Christi LP - UK - 1983
A third from 'Death Church'.

17. THE VALVES - 'Diana Barrymore' - Demo - UK - 1978

The opening track from the E.P. of the same name.
