A: We Are Devo! Run so deep that it took decades for the music cognoscenti to come around and appreciate the record on it's own terms. Ranked the 252nd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone and amid the 100 best efforts of the 1970s by Pitchfork, Devo's radical debut helped steer the new wave movement that followed. And as fate would have it, it is more relevant in the 21st century than at the time of it's release. Sourced from the original master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents the 1977 benchmark in reference-grade sound. Benefitting from the extra groove space on this first-ever 45RPM version by playing with enhanced definition, deep-black backgrounds, and ultra-quiet surfaces, it reveals previously buried nuances and portrays large soundstages. The presence, clarity, and detail of this reissue render in three-dimensional fashion the textures, tones, and effects critical to the music. Though Brian Eno butted heads with the band during the recording process, the merits of his production emerge like never before. ""Are we not men? We are Devo!"" the group repeatedly asserts. A truth that seems more evident with each passing day. 1/4"" / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to latheNumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LPLIMITED SPECIAL EDITIONLISTEN: https://youtu. #be/I3bF0N081TE
