Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, having written at and worked for all three major catalogue music labels and contributing to Allmusic, Billboard, Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Classic Rock. He's penned liner notes for Verve, Chess, Mondo and Soul Music Records.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
If they do one of those cardboard boxes with mini-LP sleeves of every Cash album, I hope for two things:
1. They split it into two boxes, one covering the period that Bear Family covered in their boxset series on Cash, and the other covering the period not included in the Bear Family boxsets.
2. Include bonus tracks, singles, etc (like the Nina Simone box did, but the Leonard Cohen box did not)
