Analog After Dark - Doors ERC Blind Shootout, Impex Boston & Mr. Wonderful Discovers Records EP.8

Mike and Leland are back for Episode 8 of Analog After Dark — and this week Mike is part of the news. From the bench at The 'In' Groove in Phoenix, AZ, the guys run through the latest audiophile reissue announcements, then get into a wild week at the store. This week: MoFi announces DEVO's "Duty Now for the Future" — and why a MoFi/AP 45 is usually the tell that a Rhino Hi-Fi is coming (or vice versa). Fidelity Record Pressing is quietly making the best-sounding records out there right now, plus the confusing world of who presses what where. The GZA "Liquid Swords" comment that turned into a tiff — Mike on hip-hop, 90s samples, and the biggest hip-hop section in Arizona. Black Sabbath on reel-to-reel, and Mike finally finds a guy in Arizona to fix the ATR. Impex announces Boston's self-titled with no sourcing and a 2027 date — and the 33 + bonus EP model that could beat 45 RPM. Talk Music: the ERC Doors listening party & blind shootout at the store — where Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World walked in and got on camera. The Johnny D collection video going viral, how a $250,000 collection actually gets priced, and the logistics nobody sees. Mr. Wonderful discovers records, Cards HQ's Jeff Wilson shows up at Vinyl Con, and why slabbed records don't hurt anyone who actually listens. New segment: what we're listening to this week — Death From Above 1979, Ralfi Pagan, The Cramps' "Gravest Gravy," Jacob Wentz's "The Gallery," and Violet Grohl.
