Devil's Answer is a compilation album of live recordings by British rock band Atomic Rooster.

It was released on 1998 by Hux Records and contains every extant in-studio session the band recorded for BBC Radio, as well as three live in-concert tracks.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

All of its contents, except for the three tracks recorded for the Friday Rock Show in 1981, have since been included on Castle Communications' 2004 reissues of Atomic Rooster's first four studio albums. The 1981 tracks remain exclusive to this disc.

In addition, the original lineup of the band, with Nick Graham on bass guitar and vocals, recorded their first BBC session on Alexis Korner's World Service Rhythm & Blues show in December 1969. They performed three tracks from their upcoming first album: "Friday the 13th", "S.L.Y." and "Decline and Fall". Unfortunately, this session is now lost.
