New Wave Outpost Forum

looking to see if anyone has the tracks from the original DEVO muzak cassette that was offered with the New Traditionalist LP order form. I had this casette, and it was brilliant - never makes an apperance on Ebay.. I'm not interested in the subsequent Muzak versions...any help Devo fans?

The Devo E-Z Muzak cd is all I have. I thought that it contained all the tracks from the cassettes, and then some (or so I've read). If these are what you're looking for, let me know.

Could someone help explain the difference between the E-Z Listening Disc and this cassette? I'd thought that the two E-Z Listening Musak cassettes available from the club back then had basically been compiled on the Disc. If there's something more out there I'd sure like to know about it.

According to the Wikipedia.....

"E-Z Listening Disc is the 1987 release by Devo. It is a disc of instrumental versions of classic Devo songs performed in the style of easy listening Muzak or New Age music. The album is a collection of tracks from Devo's two "E-Z Listening Cassettes," available only though Club Devo. The CD omits a second E-Z Listening version of "Shout."

Notable is the version of "Satisfaction" present here; it uses the original Rolling Stones guitar riff, which does not appear in any other versions of Devo's cover. Some fans suggest this was added because otherwise the rendition would not be recognizable; indeed, the song's vocal harmony could not be replicated with an instrument and Devo's quiet bass-riff was the only indicator of what it was."

At one time I owned the first cassette, amd I know that the songs on there are the ones that are now on the EZ Listening Disc.

I dutifully bought the E-Z Listening Cassette from Club DEV-O back in the day, and I still have it. Unfortunately the shell has not aged well and the tape squeaks horribly when I try to play it.

Give me a couple of days and I'll post it on my blog, then you can retire that cassette with the dignity it deserves.

Is the other E-Z listening version of "Shout" the one on the Infinite Zero release of "Shout"? It is listed as "Shout (E-Z Listening Muzak Version I)" while the one on the E-Z Listening disc is labeled as "Shout (Hello Kitty)".
