Trivia / Info[]

  • RykoDisc's Hardcore Live: the mongoloid years and the Hardcore demos are pretty much the only official audio releases you're going to hear Jim's drums on.
  • Mark said he wanted SFE to sound like Devo's "earliest work." [3]

Notes and References

  1. Devo covered track 17, written by Allen Toussaint

  2. Jim's electric drums were homemade.
