Pro-ject Debut Carbon USB - Audacity - 16 Bit FLAC - 320kbps MP3

Rip:
The Pro-ject Debut Carbon was a purchasing misstep for me as come to find out, the USB preamp runs at a maximum of
16 bit. Thus, anywhere you see people claiming to have used one to rip vinyl at 24 bit is in short, bullshit
and they are only ignorantly wasting drive space rather than capturing better quality.

I left the pops and ticks in the mix as to not endanger the audio source.

Record:
I recently discovered this copy at a record store in London. Since I've only seen previous copies available for HUGE
sums of money, I inquired as to how they had multiple copies for only 13 pounds a piece. They then informed me that
this is a newly pressed bootleg originating from somewhere in Germany in 2011. 

Though the sleeve is flimsy, the record has a good weight to it. It is unknown whether this was pressed from
the original plate (my guess), made from a reversal of the original record (not likely), or taken the 
audio taken from the CD, but it is high quality and isn't compressed whatsoever. Thus, my best educated guess is 
this was from the master as CD's in 1992 had notoriously average sound.

Since the UPC code for this reads 212 370 and the Matrix Runout Label's are S 212 370 A&B, yet is originates 
in Germany, than means that at the minimum, the art was sourced from the European version of this released in 1991.
