What's the sound like on the Collectables reissues? I know the packaging bites, I'm resigned to that. But if they're noticably better-sounding than the Virgin twofers I'm willing to pick them up anyway. Has anyone bitten the bullet yet?

I have them all, only because I received some promotional copies. Sound is decent, but not really remastered. You're probably fine with the Virgin two-fers you have already. Packaging isn't the worst - not much inside, but they look OK.

but you'll have to buy the re-issue of "shout" if you want it, because it's not on the virgin two-fers. however, the two-fers have the "devo live" e.p. (and the expanded track cd is now out of print at rhinohandmade.com i think, which is a shame) and the "freedom of choice" one (which sounds better than the domestic cd) has the only cd version of the b-side "turn around"-
HOWEVER: that devo live dvd that is coming out next month is either a dualdisc or has an extra cd, and it is another concert from that same tour; it also has booji boy songs and never on cd live tracks! wow!
