It's been 50 years since Devo formed in 1973, and they're celebrating the occasion with a massive, career-spanning box set. 50 Years of De-Evolution 1972-2023 is set to arrive October 20 via Rhino.
The collection will be available in 2CD, 2LP and a limited-edition, clear vinyl 4LP set limited to 3,000 copies. Said limited edition will also include a 28-page book, a Devo air freshener and a foldable paper energy dome. Pre-orders are available on Warner's website.
"This boxed set represents a great cross section of early experiments and later creations," Mark Mothersbaugh said via press release. "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."
Mothersbaugh recently shared that Devo's upcoming tour will be their last, so if you want a lasting memory of the Ohio art punks, this box set is your chance — unless physical copies of their upcoming documentary are released.
Alongside the announcement, the band have shared a remastered version of "Disco Dancer (7-Inch Version)." Check that and the full tracklist of 50 Years of De-Evolution 1973-2023 below.
