Futurismo proudly present the release all hardcore Devo fans have been waiting for: ART DEVO 1973-1977, a lovingly packaged box set housing rare, unheard and obscure mind blowers sourced directly from the vaults of The De-Evolution Band. This anthology takes you from the bands initial conception in Akron, Ohio to the moment before the world woke up, in a collection of sonic and visual art that captures Devo at the dawn of industrial death.
ART DEVO showcases the mesmerizing evolution of a band on the brink of discovery, mining irony, wit and dark humour from the madness of a distorted modern world still coming to terms with aftermath of a collapsed economy and the Vietnam war. From 1973-1977 Devo would transform from an art project, pop art in the literal sense, into the group David Bowie would declare “the band of the future”. Here you will find the audio mutations of a band at the edge of greatness, initial concepts that gave birth to a new aesthetic that continually challenged preconceptions about music, art, performance, culture, composition and consumption...it was also the birth of Booji Boy. While the songs here may not be fully grown, raw even, these are the seeds of subversion that kickstarted Devo’s fifty year legacy.
Spanning 3 LP’s and a 7” of predominantly unreleased material, this collection draws purely from that integral early history, garnered from unearthed basement recordings, original demo tapes, unfinished montages and rare live audio, all taken from the bands personal archive. The music is set against rare imagery, photos and personal artwork, with liners penned directly from the hands of founding members Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh and packaged in a gold foiled archive box containing separate art cards, to evoke a pseudo auction house art catalogue. Did we mention one of the images is also Scratch ‘N’ Sniff!
This is a one-time only, strictly limited edition box set, never to be remade, showcasing why Devo was, and is still is, one of the most important bands in American history. De-evolution is real. The art of DEVO is real. Here is the evidence.
This 3xLP + 7” box set comes in a choice of limited edition coloured vinyl: Nuclear Rubber and Industrial Death, plus a super-limited and individually numbered Akron Gold version.
All sets have a tracklist that has been curated by the band, they come housed in a gold foiled archive box, and contain a set of double sided art cards - including a Scratch ‘N’ Sniff image. Plus liner notes by Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald V Casale.

Brilliant work and great sounds 🎉❤
Oh, wow! A precious collectible!
Got mine a few days ago. Only complaint is the inability to download!
I know you mentioned a CD version will become available...hopefully it will come with all the goodies the LP's have!
Im buying if so !!!!!!!!
a cd version is coming? is this confirmed? if so thats exciting
I listened to it all the way through last night/this morning. The full band Kove selections are fucking BRUTAL.
Dang, this looks awesome! Too bad I missed the Akron gold 😭. See you next week!
Wow! Such a cool release! Rather heartbroken that I missed getting one.
Lots of good stuff. I want it & I want it very much !
I just got it a few hours ago, I am just blown away. Thank you for helping to make this happen!!
Thank you for sharing This is Fuckin Amazing!!!!so much super coolness Art going on in that box
Definitely enjoyi8ng my gold copies here! #243 here.
Catholic Damage, great line.
After my religious rehabilitation and recovery from Catholicism I discovered and embraced my true Agnosticism.
These sold out pretty quickly and I missed the boat originally... to my surprise I received an email from Futurismo this morning that 10 copies were up for grabs. I didn't hesitate and ordered one. HEADS UP, according to the email "If you missed the box set, don’t worry. A standard 3xLP version of ART DEVO is on its way. Stay tuned."
I saw that email! So cool that u were one of the lucky ones!!
I'm actually stunned I got a copy, after purchasing it I refreshed the page and they were sold out. @@MichaelPilmer 😔
Awesomeness
Got confirmation today that my record store managed to get me one of the clear/purple spatter version (also limited to 500) :) Exciting!!
Just opened mine. Holy Shit!! Very well worth it. What beautiful print work!!! I got the Industrial Death. Very VERY cool! Looks like all 3 are sold out now. So I'm curious; Just how many of the not-gold (un-numbered) were actually made in this "one-time only, strictly limited edition box set, never to be remade" spud's dream opportunity of a lifetime?? Can't wait to drop the needle on it tonight! !DNFTN4EVER!
Let me know what you think! Will confirm edition specifics ASAP.
I remember Peter Conheim from Negativland's "It's All In Your Head FM" show!
I'm annoyed that ordering from the official Devo store rather than Futurismo means I have to wait 30+ days longer to get mine after everybody else gets theirs. That's some bad supply chain management.
With that said, I'm super hyped for this release. It's going to be my favorite thing ever! The packaging looks really nice.
I think it had to do with some postal delays with stock arriving to USA from UK. Not the fault of DEVO's store.
@@MichaelPilmer Damn limeys!
DEVOLUTION IS REAL! We're all very sorry that you were annoyed.
@@wa27Deucedly insidious of them, eh what?
That shirt, is it an old devotional design or (hopefully) an upcoming DEVO shirt?
Fan-made tee from a few years ago
@@MichaelPilmer ah. It looks really cool!
I am at the SATANIC PLANET show in Detroit and ADULT just showed up .
Wow!! Great! Hoping to meet you in the near future, man!
