Mark has recorded a dozen or so albums on his own label, New Clear Records, some of which are no longer available except in LP format (remember those?). If you are interested in the out of print LP's, there is a limited number taking up space in Mark's office. We're told by both people who bought copies they're enjoyable.

The still-in-print albums fall into two categories: Jewish folk songs, and original satirical songs.

Here are the tapes and CD's of Jewish and ethnic folk music:
