Not sure where you're based but in the UK, and I guess Ireland, Colum's Early LPs have been available on CD on his own Spring Records Label in recent years as well as his latest CDs. Those two songs are on what I think was his first LP "Unapproved Road" now on SCD1001.

Although I see his name spelt Colm and Colum. His own CDs use the Colum spelling so if searching record dealer web sites it's probably best to do that.

There is an address on the CD covers so I guess they are happy to get snail mail as well

You might ask the man himself. Write to [e-mail] (Goodsongs is his record label - you might also find it via Google.)

Way back in the eightys Colm Sands did an LP (on Cassette) , that included songs of his such as "If it wasnae for the border" and "Good Friday never Changes".

He also did a very unique version of "Belfast Mountains" with lyrics and tune differences from any other version. I've been trying to track this down unsucessufly for ages in google after yahoo after webcrawler.

The tune I can still play, but has anyone out there got a copy of Colm's unique lyrics?
