Reviews
this is quite an incredible compilation of Devo covers... some of the songs are even better than the originals... my favorites are : Blockhead (by the Doguloids), Jocko Bozo (by The Firemen), Mongoloid (by the Deadliner) and Okie from Muskogee (by The Bakersfield Boogie Boys)... the only issue is the poor quality of the vinyl... I had to buy a second copy which I digitalised in order to save the vinyl... to bad is was never reissue on CD...
Fuck me. If you’re into this kind shit this is the fucking shit.
A fun note, Richard Branson said that the contest was short of winners so he and Foos did the Bakersfield group to pad it out.
An odd curiosity that came out toward the very beginning of Devo's life (in terms of albums at least). So most of the tracks are covers of tracks from Q/A. Some of it is fun, some of it is bizarre, some of it misses the mark, a lot of it is gimmicky but at the same time it is a time piece and worth listening too (after all those Devo records of course!)
