 As you can probably tell, I no longer have the time to update this site, Work, Family, Properties, 'Life' in general is demanding on my time. This site will stay online for about another year(ish), features like 'Shops' will continue to be fully functionable and able to process orders, however, lead times on some items may be upto 3 weeks.Hope you all enjoyed OCT, it was loved by some, hated by others, ironically plagiarised by a few, but was done out of an appreciation of some damn fine music and musicians. Long may they continue. I made some great friends through OCS and no doubt I will see some of you at future OCS gigs. OCT - Always was the place to be scene. Source: Inhouse |

On the whole, not bad for having very little National Airplay! It was also the Highest new entry. Source: ocs.com |
