OK - here's a direct conversion from the FLAC files (joined - and sorry Jim L - I deleted the remaining clip of your link at the midway point).

Using Audacity I imported both FLAC files, joined them, edit / merged into mono the 1 second drop out on the right track at 13:11 in the second file, and then did a Save As MP3 (320Kbps).

The result is nearly as good - to my ears anyway - as the FLAC versions.

You can download the MP3 here:

I was going to upload the FLAC files too, however it seems that there is interest in re-issuing the whole thing on CD so I will leave the FLAC files where they are.
