Trivia / Info

• The first compilation album of DEVO's radio hits and biggest selling singles.

• Issued on LP[ 25530-1 ] and cassette[ 25530-4 ] in Australia, New Zealand and the US.

• There doesn't seem to have been a subsequent Vol. 2 to accompany this release.

• Some releases include a hype sticker advertising the track "Here To Go (Go Mix)".
  The extended mix [1]was a charting hit in Australia.
  WB made their own 1986 music video for "Here To Go (Go Mix)" with footage compiled from video clips.

• This compilation's cover photo pose and backdrop were made when the 1980 album title could have been Time For Devo.
  An alternate seated pose was used in the "time for DEVO" fold-out poster included in the Freedom Of Choice LP.

• More photos of DEVO are included on the back cover. The LP included a 12" square insert photo of Alan reading GQ, surrounded by the rest of DEVO, from the Nu-Tra era. Fine art prints of this Allen Tannenbaum photograph were sold through gallerys in 2025, coinciding with DEVO's tour stops.
