Here we have a complete (as far as I know) discography for Otway - supplied by the man himself, so it should be correct(ish). Ideally - and assuming that I'm allowed lots of server space, I would eventually like to turn most of these titles into links to reviews and sound samples. More realistically, as a shorter term aim I would like to get images of the various covers, so if you can help out in this area (particularly rare/non-U.K. releases) please mail me at the address at the bottom of the page.
