Roky/Elevators Audio Releases
All of the audio releases listed here use lossless FLAC format, are tagged, and are ready to be played on your favorite media player or device. All contain CD artwork so you can make CDs of the release (unless otherwise indicated).
There was a collection of releases 1-47 all in one which was distributed previously. That collection contained many corrupted or broken releases. The releases here are all up to date and corrected, and come from the very latest available. The corrupted 1-47 set should be removed from circulation because it's so defective.
