The MP3 format offers superior sound quality and maximum compression for sound files. The files below are offered in 64 or 80 kBit monaural format. There are many fine MP3 players available. WinAmp makes an excellent player that can be downloaded from www.winamp.com/. Since the group's hits are now readily available on the Pharaohization CD from your favorite purveyor of fine music, I am offering less readily available selections on this page. Hope you enjoy these rarities.
