yeah, that's about right try encoding a 96kbps vbr mp3 and it will look about equal in quality to that, and a bit of a different 'signature' made from smaller blocks. I wonder what that codec is that they're using? looks a bit like minidisc type-r at the top

they have strict control over transcodes... arrgh, its like oink or something.

they used to broadcast records on the radio, with no digital shit in the path, those were the days.

here's some from a talk radio show called Hour 25, scifi/comics talk radio 1986:
