Hot Potatoes: The Best of Devo
Unavailable in the U.S.! 1993 compilation featuring 19 of the Spud Boys' best. Includes their top 20 hit 'Whip It', plus 'Jocko Homo', 'Mongoloid', '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', 'Girl U Want', 'Peek-A-Boo', 'Through Being Cool', 'Working In A Coalmine', 'Gates Of Steel', 'Secret Agent Man', 'Beautiful World', 'Whip It' and more!  One of new wave's most innovative and successful bands, Devo was also perhaps one of its most misunderstood.  Formed in Akron, OH, in 1972 by Kent State art students Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh, Devo took its name from their concept of "de-evolution" -- the idea that instead of evolving, mankind has actually regressed, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society. 19 tracks. EMI.
