I have the CD version, but I stupidly re-encoded it to something like 256kbps CBR MP3 back in 2012. Still, the fidelity is far greater than what was shared here.

I can uploaded it somewhere if you'd like.

Edit: Here you go: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MvEQd-V3Ma86XMnQYpCa...

Please share this far & wide. I have a busy night ahead of me or I'd take the time to upload it to IA.

The CD set is ISBN 1-57042-156-0. There are two available on ebay, one at ~$2,500 USD and the other (in worse shape) for $450.

I think the mp3 might have to do for now. :) Thanks for sharing.

256kbit CBR MP3 is pretty good for spoken word material

Agreed. With that being said, I meant that it was a stupid move from an archival POV.

  Is it though? Voice consumes so much less sonic bandwidth than music. I imagine the codec places extra emphasis on faithfully reproducing voices, since our brains are so wired to perceive them. A 256kbps spoken word recording is going to be a lot higher quality, comparatively, than a musical recording.
