The Best of Brought To Life - 207


1. THE RAMONES - 'I Just Wanna Have Something To Do' - Sire LP - USA - 1978
The opening track to the Ramones fourth album 'Road To Ruin'.
2. ERAZERHEAD - 'No-One Sees Me Now' - Flicknife LP - UK - 1982
From their debut album 'The Rumble Of The East'. I won't comment about the drum sound.
3. DELTA 5 - 'Try' - Rough Trade 7" - UK - 1980
I couldn't get into their debut single 'Mind Your Own Business' no matter how often John Peel played it. Their second however and this, their third, is a different matter. It had me from the bass line.
4. AGENT ORANGE - 'Mr. Moto' - Posh Boy 12" - USA - 1982
A surf classic from the 'Bitchin' Summer' E.P.
5. THE 2x4's - 'Mechanistic Girl' - Demo - USA - 1980
Available on a nifty little CD from here.
6. FEAR - 'I Am A Doctor' - Restless LP - USA - 1985
Ah, the problematic second Fear album 'More Beer'. Darker . . . meaner . . . the humour was buried deep and many couldn't be arsed to find a spade. Despite all that there was the occasional moment of genius.
7. THE CLAY - 'Future Terror' - Japan Record Company - Japan - 1983
I may as well post the last two tracks from 'Great Punk Hits'. This is the first . . .
8. THE RAMONES - 'Don't Come Close' - Sire LP - USA - 1978
Another track from 'Road To Ruin' which was also a single. Better live version here. 
9. ERAZERHEAD - 'Next Stop' - Flicknife LP - UK - 1982 
A second track from 'The Rumble Of The East'. 
10. DELTA 5 - 'You' - Rough Trade 7" - UK - 1980
A bad relationship from their second single.  
11. AGENT ORANGE - 'Breakdown' - Posh Boy 12" - USA - 1982 
The only track from 'Bitchin' Summer' which wasn't an instrumental. 
12. THE RAMONES - 'I'm Against It' - Sire LP - USA - 1978
A third track from 'Road To Ruin'.
13. ERAZERHEAD - 'Tank Attack' - Flicknife LP - UK - 1982
And a third from 'The Rumble Of The East'.
14. DELTA 5 - 'Innocenti' - Richard Skinner session - UK - 1981
I prefer this one to the album version.
15. FEAR - 'Have A Beer With Fear' - Restless LP - USA - 1985
A second track from 'More Beer'.
16. THE CLAY - 'Militia' - Japan Record Co LP - Japan - 1983
And the second track from 'Great Punk Hits'.
17. THE 2x4's - 'Nakkamichi Boogie' - Demo - USA - 1980
Even the 2x4's were bitten by the surf bug occasionally.
18. THE RAMONES - 'I Don't Want You' - Sire LP - USA - 1978
From 'Road To Ruin' and the flipside of 'Don't Come Close'.
19. ERAZERHEAD - 'I Hate You' - Flicknife LP - UK - 1982
A fourth track from 'The Rumble Of The East'. 
20. DELTA 5 - 'Train Song' - Richard Skinner session - UK - 1981 
Again, I prefer this one to the album version. 
21. AGENT ORANGE - 'Pipeline' - Posh Boy 12" - USA - 1982
The extended version from 'Bitchin' Summer'.
22. THE RAMONES - 'Questioningly' - Sire LP - USA - 1978
A tear-jerkin' moment of genius from 'Road To Ruin'.
23. ERAZERHEAD - 'Moscow' -Flicknife LP - UK - 1982
Yet another track from 'The Rumble Of The East'. 
24. DELTA 5 - 'Singing The Praises' - Richard Skinner session - UK - 1981 
A third song from the excellent Skinner Session. 
25. THE EXECUTE - 'Criminal Flowers' - Hit Parade 7" - Japan - 1984
Judging by their previous release I'd assumed they were turning metal, so imagine my surprise when they churned out this strangely haunting epic.
***BONUS TRACKS***
26. THE EXECUTE - 'Slash' (from 'Criminal Flowers' 7")
27. THE EXECUTE - 'Moron' (from 'Criminal Flowers' 7")
