Entitled was released in 1993. It was the first mainstream recording which included several disability issue based songs. There were other musical artists at the time who were already writing and performing such songs but their music was mainly folk and was not aimed at reaching a popular audience. Simon Mark Smith aimed to wrap complicated and challenging disability issue based themes within an accessible format. At the time the Internet was not widely used so distribution of music was still very much under the control of the record companies and without a deal there was no way of getting your songs in the shops let alone on the radio. Even so, Simon sent off his CD to the major media outlets and received very good reviews including winning album of the week in The Big Issue and getting on TV and some radio programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
