The Best of Brought To Life - 244

1. PANKRTI - 'Kruha In Iger' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980

Pankrti's debut album 'Dolgcajt' is one of the best Yugoslav albums I've heard, and by far their best. From what is now (and was before) Slovenia.

2. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Rock 'n' Roll Freitag' - Lava LP - Germany - 1979

You could say the same thing about Hans-A -Plast's self-titled debut. The one with the rat on the cover.

3. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Artificial Insemination' - RKM LP - UK - 1978

Meanwhile back in Blighty (via Belgium) they feared the future. From debut album 'Victim Of Time'.

4. THE OFFBEATS - 'I'm Confused' - Terminal LP - USA - 1982

And since I've been on an Offbeats kick you'll need their track from 'Cleveland Confidential'.

5. THE FEISTY CADAVERS - 'Flash Rocker' - FSN 7" - USA - 1988

The sleeve suggested 'Misfits' but the music said otherwise. From debut E.P. 'Dead Give Away'.

6. PANKRTI - 'Poèitnice Na Morju' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980

A second track from 'Dolgcajt'.

7. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Lederhosentyp' - Lava LP - Germany - 1979

And a second from their self-titled debut. Going by the intro it could well be about Olivia Newton John's super-tight leggings. My German pals will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong.

8. FRÆBBBLARNIR - 'No Friends' - Fálkinn 7" - Iceland - 1981

A track from their second E.P. 'Bjor'.

9. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Sha La La La Lee' - RKM LP - UK - 1978

An oft covered old Small Faces song which they didn't write and didn't like much. From 'Victim Of Time'.

10. THE SEVERE - 'Her Name Was Jane' - Terminal LP - USA - 1982

Another track from 'Cleveland Confidential'. I'm pretty sure the Pagans covered this one.

11. PANKRTI - 'Totalna Revolucija' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980

A third from 'Dolgcajt'. From my elementary Slovene classes I think it translates along the lines of 'Total Revolution'.

12. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Monopoli' - Lava LP - Germany - 1979

Hans-A-Plast got very irritated when the couldn't pass 'Gehen' or collect 200 Deutschmarks.

13. JOHN LOVSIN - 'Key Of E' - Terminal LP - USA - 1982

A lighter tune from 'Cleveland Confidential'.

14. 77 - 'Obièna Svar' - Demo - Yugoslavia - 1982

This lot never got to make a record. From Pula, Croatia.

15. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Get The Guy' - RKM LP - UK - 1978

Another excellent composition from 'Victim Of Time'. 

16. PANKRTI - 'Civili In Vojaki' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980

 A fourth track from 'Dolgcajt'.

17. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Ich Zünd Mich An' - No Fun LP - Germany - 1981

This one's from their aptly titled second album 'II'.

18. THE FEISTY CADAVERS - 'Live Like Vampires' - FSN 7" - USA - 1989

Their second E.P. 'Dying Art' did sound a bit more like the Misfits. Loved this track.

19. THE DEFNICS - 'Suicide Trip' - Terminal LP - USA - 1982

An unusually slower one by the Defnics from 'Cleveland Confidential'.

20. FORT & GÆLI - 'N.S.B.' - Reiten 7" - Norway - 1981

Their sole single, more's the shame.

21. PANKRTI - 'Jest Sem Na Liniji' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980

A fifth track from 'Dolgcajt'.

22. HANS-A-PLAST - 'Monstertanz' - No Fun LP - Germany - 1983

From disappointing third album 'Ausradiert'.

23. ELTON MOTELLO - 'Falling Like A Domino' - Attic LP - UK - 1980

One from second album 'Pop Art'.

24. THE LAB RATS - 'Cover Song, End Of Side One' - Terminal LP - USA - 1982

Love the way they titled this one. The pressing plant couldn't afford to mess it up. From 'Cleveland Confidential'.

25. PANKRTI - 'Sedemnajst' - RTV Ljubljana LP - Yugoslavia - 1980

And a sixth track from 'Dolgcajt'.
