B Stiff is the first EP by American new wave band Devo, released in 1978 by Stiff Records.
B Stiff is a compilation of three 7-inch singles released by Stiff in the UK, the first two of which had initially been released independently by the band.[1] [2] The EP collects the only three Devo singles released by Stiff.[3] The cover was created by graphic designer Barney Bubbles and photographer Brian Griffin.[4]
Although the B Stiff EP has never had a proper CD release, five of its six tracks have been re-released on various compilation albums in the digital format:
A re-recording of "Social Fools" produced by Brian Eno appeared as the B-side of the "Come Back Jonee" single in 1978. It was later reissued as a bonus track on the Virgin CD release of Q: Are We Not Men A: We Are Devo!/Dev-O Live EP in 1993 and was subsequently reissued again on Social Fools (The Virgin Singles 1978-1982) in 2015 and Turn Around: B-Sides & More (1978-1984) in 2019.
