Tonight was the last disc: Backstreet Boys (1996) – European first press. The one with “We’ve Got It Goin’ On” before radio figured out what to do with them.
Leo’s basement smelled like ozone and old plastic. Stacks of jewel cases rose from the carpet like a miniature city— Millennium , Black & Blue , Backstreet’s Back . He’d been at it for three weeks, feeding CD after CD into his vintage Plextor drive, watching the green progress bar crawl across a cracked version of EAC.
EAC reported: Track 1 – 100% quality.
