Mike From The ‘In’ Groove 100 In Print Analog Records You Should Own

Mike – Owner of The ‘In’ Groove

If you have never heard of Mike or The ‘In’ Groove well you should have because Mike has I think one of the best YouTube Channels. His YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/user/mojomickman. A great way to stay informed on new arrivals as well as audiophile releases.

Every Thursday Mike posts new arrivals and restocks in the morning. I look forward to these videos because they keep me up to date on what is coming out and pre-orders. Often talks about prices and gives a good idea of what future prices will likely happen with releases.

He often puts out great videos on audiophile albums, new arrivals, live chat, reviews, and comparisons of albums. Very knowledgeable on everything pertaining to all genres of music as well as equipment. Mike himself is an audiophile and helps to pass on his knowledge freely on his videos.

His website is The ‘In’ Groove where he sells records and T-shirts. The ‘In’ Groove is also a brick-and-mortar store located in Phoenix Arizona where he specializes in high-quality collectible records and Hi-Fi Gear.

Mike Has Update His List

Recently as of 12-27-21, Mike has made a new video and filled out the newest list to 100 albums (instead of the 40 from the previous list). I will still leave the old list down below for reference. Mike has gone through the trouble of making a video for audiophiles or people looking for the best-sounding vinyl records.

These albums in the current state of the vinyl world are subject to being back-ordered or possibly being out of print. Some of the items are awaiting a repress. I would recommend getting the albums you love before they go out of print or buying on the secondary market for an increased price.

Pay attention to the pressing manufacturer and mastering engineer because this is specific to the album listed for the best sound quality. As there can be many other pressings of the same album but can sound drastically different.

Honorable Mentions:

Vinyl Me Please – They have stepped up their game in the audiophile market.
