That's actually lower (192) than the rip of Exuma II I posted above (256). I'm hoping to find 320... I may just buy the (import?) CDs this weekend--amazon lists them new (at outrageous prices) but there are a couple used. I really doubt any of the money goes towards the original musicians. Exuma himself of course is dead.

Hey gang, so funny story. I was ordering the first two Exuma cds so we could have cd rips of 'em and I noticed the store I work at had a couple copies of his Rude Boy album in stock - sort of surprising. So, I asked the boss why we had 'em and he told me that back in the late 80s the artist in question - he had thought Exuma was some local Denver musician - was going from store to store to sell his cd directly to record stores. So, the store I work at ended up with a couple copies and they sat on the shelves until today when I picked one up (long out of print, naturally) for myself. Kind of cool.
Anyways, here are uploads of Exuma, Exuma II and Rude Boy encoded to "extreme vbr" via dbpoweramp. The Repertoire Records re-releases of I & II sound great, just a bang up job on some pretty obscure music. I've gotten a few other releases on this label, and they're quickly becoming one of my favorite reissue labels (along with Sundazed).
