Weird Tapes and other releases

[Chris Raymond]

Hello,

Are these Wierd CDs available to order now? I could not figure it out
from the website.  Anybody else in the USA selling Brockspace or Wierd
CDs?

I guess the real question I have waiting to ask is, Andy, when can we
buy online fron your CDS Towers website?
Thanks,
Chris
