The Best of Brought To Life - 245

1. RADIO - 'Kuj, Kuj Dok Je Vruće' - Diskoton LP - Yugoslavia - 1981
This would have made a great Eurovision entry. I'd have voted for it anyway. From Sarajevo (Bosnia & Hercegovina) and their sole album 'Rampampila'.
2. THE ROUSERS - 'Leave Us Alone' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980
The Rousers first album 'A Treat Of New Beat' is a powerpop classic. More tracks later.
3. EDDIE & THE HOT RODS - 'Teenage Depression' - Island LP - UK - 1976
Whereas I was never that fussed on Eddie & The Hot Rods' debut, but the title track is worth an airing.
4. PANKRTI - 'Greva Drugam' - ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1982
From their disappointing (compared to 'Dolgcajt') second album 'Državni Ljubimci'.
5. PROTES BENGT - 'Hjälp Snuten' Röj Records 7" - Sweden - 1986
A bit of light relief. From 'In Bengt We Trust'.
6. THE SAINTS - 'Kissin' Cousins' - EMI Harvest LP - Australia - 1977
Just watched the 'Great Australian Albums' doc featuring '(I'm) Stranded' (thanks again Gary). Essential viewing. So much so that you're getting all the tracks I left off first time around.
7. T.N.T. - 'Deberias Tener Cuidado' - DRO LP - Spain - 1983
Another track from 'Manifiesto Guernica'.
8. THE ROUSERS - 'Intensive Caren' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980
A second track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.
9. PANKRTI - 'Gora' ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1984
Their third studio LP the 'Rdeči Album' was a welcome return to form.
10. EDDIE & THE HOT RODS - 'Quit This Town' - Island LP - UK -1977
We could never understand why there was no Eddie in the band. From second album 'Life On The Line'.
11. THE URGE - 'Bobby' - Cönsumer Disk 7" - UK - 1980
Their debut single, the better of the two.
12. THE SAINTS - 'Story Of Love' EMI Harvest LP - Australia - 1977
One of the slower cuts from '(I'm) Stranded'.
13. PANKRTI - 'Slavni Razglas' ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1984
The opening track from the 'Rdeči Album'.
14. THE ROUSERS - 'Nice And Friendly People' Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980
A third track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.
15. RADIO - 'Suze' Diskoton LP - Yugoslavia - 1981
Another wonderfully jaunty piece from 'Rampampila'.
16. PROTES BENGT - 'Satsa' - Röj Records 7" - Sweden - 1986
Crash-bash-crash-bash-growl-end. From 'In Bengt We Trust'.
17. PANKRTI - 'Namesto Tebe' - ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1981
This is the lead song from their 1981 double single.
18. THE ROUSERS - 'People To Meet' - Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980
A fourth track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.
19. RADIO - 'Opširna Nedjelja' Diskoton LP - Yugoslavia - 1981
A third track from 'Rampampila'.
20. THE URGE - 'Revolving Boy' - Cönsumer Disk 7" - UK - 1980
The follow up to 'Bobby'. Sank without trace.
21. EDDIE & THE HOT RODS - 'Do Anything You Wanna Do' - Island 7" - UK - 1977
Ah, crackly vinyl. Remember that? Their crowning glory. Performance from the Marc show here.
22. THE ROUSERS - 'Lost And Broken Hearted' Torso LP - Netherlands - 1980
A fifth track from 'A Treat Of New Beat'.
23. THE SAINTS - 'Messin' With The Kid' EMI Harvest LP - Australia - 1977
Classic Brisbane blues. From '(I'm) Stranded', of course.
24. PROTES BENGT - 'Vingmutter' Röj Records 7" - Sweden - 1986
About 25 times shorter than the previous track.
25. PANKRTI - 'Bandiera Rossa' ZKP RTVL LP- Yugoslavia - 1984
Pankrti covering the socialist classic. You can guess which album this is from.
***BONUS TRACKS***
26. THE ROUSERS - 'Ann-Louise'  (from 'A Treat Of New Beat')
27. THE SAINTS - 'Nights In Venice'  (from '(I'm) Stranded')
28. PROTES BENGT - 'Radioaktiv'  (from 'In Bengt We Trust')
