Shame there's no flac or CD option, but great stuff nontheless. They should do the Otters stuff the same way. Any idea when this was recorded? Only I asked for Donkey Riding when I saw him at Blackpool, and it would be nice to take credit for reminding him about that song.
i downloaded the mp3 version & it's good quality.
i've posted some of the out of print otters stuff and a link for their demo- which is pure class.hope yr well mate.xx
Yes I know, I told you where some of the Otters songs were. But I would still prefer to buy them, in the hope that some of the money might trickle back to Mark and fund more recordings or maybe even a UK tour.
Do you have, by any chance, Situation Normal and To Mock a Killingbird?

totally agree & mark will get some cash from this,and hopefully the documentary will allow him to release more new stuff.Cupboard Music is putting out the whole astronauts back catalog on cd.
i'm well looking fwd to an otters album... some of their new stuff is really far out, you can hear them on FB

i've not heard ''Situation Normal and To Mock a Killingbird?'' ???
They were listed as the first 2 Otters releases on the Mark Astronaut wikipedia page.
Great news about the CDs, I'd best start saving up now.
Do you know if there is any plans to release the documentary for sale, or where it is likely to be shown?
hiya eddie
yeah,the re/releases are great,my vinyl is canny worn.
not too sure about if the film will get a release,i'm hoping so!it'll probably get a screening in london i reckon.
