RADIO BROADCAST #777
02–24–24
Fanatic! As far as I’m concerned, winter is only days from ending. I know it might be very cold where you are but March first is the start of Fanatic Spring and we’ve got a show for March 2 almost ready.
Fanatic, I think I might have told you last year about one of the coolest records released in a long time. It’s a 3LP 1 7” box set by Devo called Art Devo 1973-1977 on the awesome Futurismo label.
As the title references, it’s a compilation of unreleased Devo, from the collections of Devo men Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh. You might have some of the other Devo retrospectives that feature some unreleased tracks like Recombo DNA, which is great and totally worth having but this compilation is over two hours of Devo you’ve never heard.
If you were a fan of the amazing Hardcore Devo series, on the excellent Superior Viaduct label Art Devo is along those lines.

I’ve listened to the Art Devo set multiple times and it’s mind blowing from start to finish. The only draw back to this incredible release was there was only 1500 pressed in three color variants, four if you count the test pressing. It sold through in a minute and then went to the usual places to be “flipped” and sold for non spud friendly prices. However, things got better. In April the 3LP variant will be coming out with distribution in the USA. I just got digital tracks from the set and will be able to start putting them into our show soon. I think you’re going to dig these immensely. Here’s the site info for this new pressing.
Both of these labels should be explored with great vigor.
There’s a new Eggy record! 7" is up now through
Bandcamp: https://eggyband.bandcamp.com/album/open-field
New Dr. Sure’s Unusual Practice vinyl coming soon.

Tonight’s show is our final blast for winter and we hope you dig it. Where I am, it’s dropping to freezing later tonight. I don’t care. Spring is on the way. Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!
