DEVO Announce Career-Spanning 50 Years of De-Evolution Box Set
The post DEVO Announce Career-Spanning 50 Years of De-Evolution Box Set appeared first on Consequence.
DEVO are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their formation with 50 Years of De-Evolution (1973-2023), a new box set compiling the best music of their career. The project arrives in full October 20th, while the 7-inch version of their 1988 single “Disco Dancer” is on streaming services for the first time today.
50 Years of De-Evolution (1973-2023) comes in a 50-song 4xLP and 2xCD set, as well as a 25-song 2xLP version. Both offerings include the biggest tracks from all nine of DEVO’s albums, while the super deluxe package features rarities like the 1974 demo for “I’m A Potato” and single mixes for “Come Back Jonee,” “Snowball,” and “What We Do.” The 4xLP set is pressed on clear vinyl and limited to 3,000 copies worldwide; it also features a 28-page book, a DEVO air freshener, a lithograph of the album artwork, and a foldable hat matching the band’s iconic red energy domes.
The 2xLP version of 50 Years of De-Evolution (1973-2023) is available on both standard black vinyl and a special edition blue and red vinyl. Pre-orders for all editions of the box set are ongoing.
“This boxed set represents a great cross section of early experiments and later creations,” DEVO’s Mark Mothersbaugh said in a statement. “I was looking to create a new sound, a concept in art and music that represented a new way of thinking about life on planet earth. With Devo, I think we did just that. ”
