How about the six song EP from Stiff (British) that contained the two original
Booji Boy singles (Jocko Homo/Mongoloid, Satisfaction/Sloppy) plus the
original Stiff single Be Stiff b/w Social Fools?  I think it was called
Be Stiff, but I'm not sure.  I have the original Booji Boy Records single
of Jocko Homo/Mongoloid, and the songs are rather different:  Eno made them
leave out the "rhyme that ends in a riddle" from the album version of Jocko
Homo.  It's on the original single and they DO include it when performing live.

They used to play the EZ listening versions of Devo songs (incl.  Whip It)
as a prelude to the concerts over the house PA before the shows began.
