This Is the Devo Box is a seven-disc CD box set compilation of albums by American new wave band Devo, released only in Japan in 2008. It contains all six of the band's studio albums for Warner Bros. Records, spanning the years 1978 to 1984, as well as a greatly expanded version of the 1981 DEV-O Live EP, identical to the 1999 Rhino Handmade CD release. The box features exclusive remasters by mastering engineer Isao Kikuchi and the albums are packaged in miniature LP sleeves with miniaturized versions of the original artwork and pack-ins. The box does not include bonus tracks, although this edition of the New Traditionalists album includes the track "Working in the Coalmine," originally included as a bonus 7" single in some early pressings of the LP.[1]
