Though unfairly pegged by some as an example of the common sophomore slump, the record spurred the group’s interest in electronic instrumentation, extended its penchant for biting social satire, and contained another transformative cover song in the form of “Secret Agent Man.” Above all, it proved the Ohio pranksters were anything but a joke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSourced from the original master tapes, mastered by engineer Krieg Wunderlich, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents Duty Now for the Future in audiophile grade sound. Benefitting from the extra groove space on this first ever 45RPM version, it plays with enhanced definition, deep-black backgrounds, and ultra-quiet surfaces. The merits of Ken Scott’s production emerge like never before. Guitars possess punch and grit, and are sharpened with an ear toward accuracy and vibrancy. It all helps give the 1979 effort a direct immediacy that answers the complaints of listeners who felt the affair too processed or sterilized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDig in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e1\/4” \/ 15 IPS Dolby A analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eNumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP\u003cbr\u003eLIMITED SPECIAL EDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e01\/29\/2027\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eMOFY-628\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e821797262811\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eDevo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eMobile Fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003ePop Rock,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAudiophile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832654430269,"sku":"AUD-D-821797262811","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/unnamed_73b7aee3-0aaf-4e50-8927-c7166538336d.jpg?v=1792170189","url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/products\/pre-order-devo-duty-now-for-the-future-2-lp-45-rpm-release-date-01-29-2027","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
