Devo recombo dna full
Recombo DNA is a collection of studio demos and unreleased tracks by the American new wave band Devo. It was originally released in 2000 by Rhino and limited to 5,000 copies.
Contents
Unlike the Hardcore Devo compilations, which contained several demos from Devo's pre-record deal days, this collection spans throughout much of their career with Warner Bros. and Enigma.
On August 20, 2016 at the Devo fan gathering, Devotional, Delaney Jae of Futurismo, announced they would be re-issuing Recombo DNA with new art to accompany it. Futurismo released similar CDs in 2014 and 2016 with the Miracle Witness Hour live album, and the E-Z Listening Disc reissue. The reissue of Recombo DNA will be released Summer 2017.
The front cover of the album features Booji Boy.
