For those Mac people a great site for Mpeg layer 2 and 3 is:
http://www.raum.com/mpeg/, one track I have only found on mp3 is Tricky's
group doing Eric B. & Rakim's 'lyrics of fury,' here is the direct link:
http://java.inf.tu-dresden.de/music/mp3/tricky/lyrics_of_fury(tricky).mp3
I thought it was probably the best song they did at the concert--lyrics of
fury at 78 rpms.
