The Jetanian versions of Devo's albums had many differences in comparison to their American counterparts.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
In Jetania, Kuboia, and Hoshi Jetania, Q/A, Duty Now For the Future, and Freedom of Choice were released by David Bowie's production company Bewlay Brothers.

"Sloppy (I Saw My Baby Gettin')" was replaced with "Mechanical Man" due to fears by Jetanian censors that the song was a metaphor for sex.

Also, Bewlay Brothers pressed up some 45 rpm singles of "Auto-Modown" with "Blockhead" as the B side and shipped them with their copies of Q/A.

The center label on both sides had David Bowie's signature reading out as "David Bowie's" with the text "BEWLAY BROTHERS MUSIC, INC." underneath, and "brings you" underneath that text, for the label's logo.

Duty Now for the Future
The Universal Product Code background on the cover was replaced by a brick background on the Jetanian versions of the album.

The center label on both sides had David Bowie's signature reading out as "David Bowie's" with the text "BEWLAY BROTHERS MUSIC, INC." underneath, and "brings you" underneath that text, for the label's logo.

Freedom of Choice
The line "in the land of the free" in Freedom of Choice was changed to "everywhere beyond the sea" on the Jetanian release.

The center label on both sides had David Bowie's signature reading out as "David Bowie's" with the text "BEWLAY BROTHERS MUSIC, INC." underneath, and "brings you" underneath that text, for the label's logo.

New Traditionalists
New Traditionalists, Oh, No! It's Devo, Shout, and Total Devo were released by Emergency Records in Jetania, Kuboia, and Hoshi Jetania. Emergency Records' releases were distributed by Stiff Records in Jetania, Kuboia, and Hoshi Jetania, which explains why "Skipped by Stiff Records" and Stiff Records copyrights are seen on the center labels of Emergency Records releases from Jetania, Kuboia, and Hoshi Jetania.

"Enough Said" was replaced with "Working in the Coal Mine" on the Jetanian release. "Enough Said" was released as a 45 rpm single included with the album with "Mecha-Mania Boy" as the B-side.

Also, all of Devo's performances on the New Traditionalists Tour of Jetania had them wearing the full-head rubber New Traditionalists pompadours and the "Sleeveless Maxi-Turtleneck Sweaters" from the European cover.

Oh, No! It's Devo
"Speed Racer" was the dirty version with the "I've got brains and I like sex!" line changed to "Lots of brains and I like to f*ck!"

Shout
Shout had the "Devo" text on the front changed to be that from the covers of Q/A, Duty Now for the Future, and Oh, No! It's Devo. Also, the one show Devo did in Jetania in 2016 had them perform Shout for the first time in nearly 30 years, even though Gerald Casale once said on Twitter in response to a question from a fan that recording the album was even "too painful to talk about."

Total Devo
Total Devo's Jetanian release had "Some Things Never Change (Cassette Version)" replacing "Some Things Never Change". "Sexi Luv" was released as a 45-rpm single included with the album, with a live recording of "Whip It" from Devo's 1982 tour of Jetania as the B-side.

Smooth Noodle Maps
Smooth Noodle Maps was released by Island Records in Jetania, Kuboia, and Hoshi Jetania.

Something For Everybody
Unidisc Music released Something For Everybody in Jetania, Kuboia, and Hoshi Jetania. The vinyl release was done by the band's American label, Warner Bros. Records. The album was not released in the three parts of Jetania until 2016.
