SLY AND THE FAMILY STONESMALL TALK (1974)
REMASTER
320 KBPS
A new bass player and drummer signaled a toned-down Sly & the Family Stone sound. Partially in keeping with changes in much of popular music in the early '70s, and maybe the result of marriage and a child, Sly became more introspective, quieter, and calmer, even employing a string section on various cuts. A less exhilarating album than earlier efforts, there is still much of merit here, including the Top Ten R&B hit "Time for Livin'."

VBR (-v 0) would be highly appreciated... CBR320 may theoretically provide the highest quality, but it is practically also the most wasteful.
It's actually VBR at 320kbps so, enjoy. Indeed CBR is a waste especially for compression.
I dont understand how you achieve VBR @ 320.
You use LAME encoding which follows set presets e.g. v0 (target of 245kbps) or v2 (target 190kbps). Yet you're rips are ALWAYS around 317-319kbps (regardless of genre and volume) which isnt possible using LAME v2.
I hate to sound ungrateful because im not, you have a great blog with fine taste. I just wonder how you achieve this feat. I use LAME also and VBR 320 doesnt exist.
Whats the secret?
