I am a huge beefheart fan and I love this compilation. A big thank you for uploading it.
Shame it's not higher quality.

Do you reckon you could upload a 320/FLAC version for us bitrate obsessives if it's no trouble?

That would be magic :)

Great blog!

Could you by any chance re-upload this in 320kbps?

I'd be extremely grateful.

Love the blog btw.
