The Best of Brought To Life - 249

1. MYDOLLS - The Rapist' - C.I.A. 7" - USA - 1981
As promised, one from their debut E.P. From Houston, Texas.
2. ROTJOCH - 'Accident' - Polydor LP - Netherlands - 1981
Their sole album 'Bad Boy' was a powerpop wonderland. Here they are in action.
3. THE PLASTIC IDOLS - 'Siamese Love' - ESR LP - USA - 1979
We haven't heard from this lot since sampler #5! This is from 'Are We Too Late For The Trend?', another fine Texas comp.
4. LES GNOMES - 'Gwirdic' - La Voix Des Gnomes MLP - France - 1984
If you don't recognise the language that's because it's all in Gnome-speak. I shit you not!!! From their self-titled mini-album. And this is how they rolled.
5. TEQUILA - 'Necesito Un Trago' - Novola 7" - Spain - 1978
The debut single from these Spanish powerpoppers.

An homage to women. From 'The New Switcheroo'.

An Ian MacKaye / Jeff Nelson studio collaboration.

Worth including for the title alone. From 'Are We Too Late For The Trend?'

A second track from their sole album 'Bad Boy'.
10. TEQUILA - 'Me Vuelvo Loco' - Zafiro 7" - Spain - 1979
Third single. There were a couple of Argentinians in the band, if that means anything.

And a second track from 'The New Switcheroo'.
13. MYDOLLS - 'Exorcism' - C.I.A. 7" - USA - 1981
