Devo’s first (and only) top 40 hit single. Obviously their most famous song. A New Wave classic, no doubt about it!

Even if yer burnt out on 'Whip It', I still recommend getting this for the B-side, 'Turn Around'. Great track IMO, and here's a fun fact: NIRVANA covers 'Turn Around' on their compilation record, "INCESTICIDE".

Mastering is muddy and dull. No brightness at all. Great packaging though.
