Devo- Freedom of Choice-LP

Devo's Freedom of Choice captures the band at a creative high point, blending their quirky new wave roots with a more polished synth-pop edge. The album’s standout track “Whip It” became a defining moment in early MTV history, its innovative video and catchy hooks propelling the band into mainstream awareness. Tracks like “Girl U Want” and the title song “Freedom Of Choice”—inspired by a Carl’s Jr. ad—showcase Devo’s sharp satirical take on consumer culture wrapped in infectious rhythms. Co-produced with Robert Margouleff, known for his work with Stevie Wonder, the album’s electronic textures are crisp and forward-thinking for 1980. This 1980 vinyl pressing offers a near-mint listening experience, with exceptionally clean grooves that reflect careful handling over the decades. The record’s condition means you can appreciate Devo’s intricate synth layers and quirky vocal delivery without distraction. For anyone intrigued by Devo’s playful critique of choice and conformity, this pressing is a clear window into a pivotal moment when video and music collided, proving that even a band with robots for hats can have a sense of timing.
