Dave McCormack - Rare MP3s
Last updated August 2010
Most of Custard and the Titanics CDs are long out of print and difficult to track down. The best (and cheapest) place to find them is ebay. You can also try GEMM, Waterfront Records, Rockinghorse Records and Ten Seconds Down. The Polaroids CDs are in print and should be available in your local record store.
