Oh Yes, It's Devo! "Hardcore" Compilations, Live Show Reissue Planned

April 8, 2013 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

Devo Live 1981 SeattleThe fight against de-evolution never stops, as evidenced by not one but two upcoming reissues by alt-rock heroes Devo in the coming months. The Akron, Ohio-bred group will reissue a 1981 live show released for Record Store Day last year as well as two long out-of-print compilations of early demos.

Live 1981 Seattle was a hot item when it was released as a double-LP set by the band's Booji Boy Records in 2012 for Record Store Day. The set found the band - brothers Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Gerald and Bob Casale and drummer Alan Myers - taking their New Traditionalists Tour to the Seattle Center Arena on November 28, 1981, performing classic tunes like "Whip It," "Girl U Want" and "Uncontrollable Urge" as well as the then-new cuts including "Jerkin' Back 'N' Forth" and "Through Being Cool." Sourced from a DAT transfer of a tape found by archivist/"DEVO-Obsesso" Michael Pilmer in the possession of "Bob No. 2," the CD, housed in a digipak with a deluxe booklet of rare road photos, also adds an additional two as-yet unannounced bonus tracks to the program.

Devo HardcoreMeanwhile, Booji Boy is teaming up with the Superior Viaduct boutique label to reissue both volumes of Hardcore Devo. Released in 1990 and 1991 by Rykodisc, these sets saw the earliest recordings by the band, conducted on four-track recorders and small local studios in the Kent State area between 1974 and 1977. Early versions of songs like "Jocko Homo," "Be Stiff," "Mongoloid" and even their earliest take on The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" are on display. And, as a treat for this reissue, Hardcore Devo Volume 2 features a further four demos, none of which have been released before.

The Live 1981 Seattle CD will be available to order next month, according to the band's official site. Vinyl editions of Hardcore Devo (a single LP for the first and two for the second) will street May 14, with a two-disc CD to follow in August; all of those bundles are up for pre-order from Superior Viaduct.

After the jump, check out the final track listing for Hardcore Devo.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Welcome news. But I still hope they'll reissue the early, groundbreaking Akron videos.

    Talked to the band about reissuing both Hardcores back in early-mid 00's - they said they had no parts. So these are going to be remastered from CD or they found them?

    ClubDEVO dot com says nothing about remastering so I'd guess they copied straight from the Rykodisk CD release.
