I don’t think is Trade Gothic, although is definitely a Gothic style.
I didn’t researched that good but I believe the title ‘analog’ is set in Brazilia, with some change in the width parameter, making it look more extended than already is. You can check at: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/agfa/atbrazilia/
it looks like a stretched out akzidenz grotesque. the thicker versions of the font get the tear shaped “a.” but it looks stretched un-naturally. and obviously the “g” has been modified. but i dont really know, i didnt go to school for type, i just care too much.
Jesse is correct. The logo type has been stretched (probably on a photocompositor, judging by the era). You can tell because the vertical strokes are noticeably thicker than the vertical strokes. And I think your first hunch is right, Scott. There’s no reason to believe it didn’t begin as Trade Gothic Extended.
