AllMusic	[1]

Unlike the Hardcore Devo compilations, which contained several demos from Devo's pre-record deal era, this collection spans much of their career with Warner Bros. and Enigma.

Background

The first six songs on the album all originate from Devo's 'Hardcore' era of 1977, with the exception being The Words Get Stuck In My Throat, which, whilst recorded in 1978, was performed by the group all throughout 1977 and is representative of that era. Pink Pussycat, whilst later appeared on Duty Now For The Future, was first performed live in November of '77, meaning the demo was likely recorded around that time.

Whilst a majority of Devo's albums are only represented in a few tracks here, an entire alternate version of Freedom of Choice lasting 37 minutes is presented between tracks 10 - 21 of disc one.

On August 20, 2016 at the Devo fan gathering, DEVOtional 2016, Delaney Jae of Futurismo Records announced the label would be reissuing Recombo DNA with new art to accompany it. Futurismo released similar CDs in 2014 and 2016, namely the Miracle Witness Hour live album and a reissue of the E-Z Listening Disc, respectively. The reissue of Recombo DNA was released on August 11, 2017 on 4xLP vinyl with additional material.[2] For this LP edition, "Somewhere With Devo" was removed from the main track listing, retitled "The Somewhere Suite" and included on a 3-inch Mini CD, a release which had been originally planned for May 1989.[3]

The illustration on the front cover of the album features Devo's mascot, Booji Boy.
