Devo is going to release of box set of rare and unreleased music that was recorded before the release of their first album. The earliest material stretches back to 1973. It's called Art Devo 1973-1977 and it's out via UK's futurismo. As per the label, " Spanning 3xLP’s and a 7”, this collection draws exclusively from Devo’s integral early history, garnered from unearthed basement recordings, original demo tapes, unfinished montages and rare live audio, all taken from the bands personal archive. While the songs here may not be fully grown, raw even, these are the seeds of subversion that kickstarted Devo’s 50 year legacy." That's out September 8. You can see the box below.
