This is a 16 bit version of a 24 bit that was being hosted by Hans Devente on his blog. The 24 bit version was a total of 3gig so I decoded the files and used GoldWave v.5.04 to turn the files into 16 bit then encoded them to flac level 8 using Traders Little Helper aligning all sector boundaries.

This is a great sounding recording that should be a welcome addition to any Talking Heads fan's collection.
