Recorded in Cologne and San Francisco and originally issued in August 1978, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! captures the band's quirky de-evolution philosophy, blending robotic rhythms, synth-pop hooks, and tracklike satire under Brian Eno’s visionary production. This 2018 Record Store Day picture disc pressing (limited to 5,000 copies) celebrates Devo’s debut, featuring cult classics like “Jocko Homo” and the cover of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” It’s a cultural artifact bridging art-school aesthetics and late-’70s counterculture rebellion—an iconic must-have for fans of proto-new-wave and avant-garde punk lineage.
