A companion piece to the Greatest Hits Devo CD compilation that both came out in 1990, this might be the better of the two releases.  For starters, this one has many of the bands best songs: "Mongoloid" as well as Booji Boy versions of "Jocko Homo," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."  What are Booji Boy versions you may ask?  I couldn't really tell listening without comparison, but they are apparently higher pitched vocal renditions with cruder production different from the Q: Are We Not Men A: We Are Devo versions. "Be Stiff" and "Mechanical Man" also get these versions.

This CD sold in tandem with Greatest Hits, but I listened to this one first before realizing that the "regular" versions of "Satisfaction" and "Jocko Homo" are on that compilation.  This is the best of the two with tracks more in line with the early years than the synthier years post "Whip It."  Standouts incldued "The Day My Baby Gave Me  A Surprize" and really everything here
