Titanic Days is Kirsty MacColl's fourth studio album, released in 1993. Containing eleven tracks, Titanic Days was sometimes hard to get in years after its release, but it was remastered and re-released in 2005 by ZTT with a second CD of non-album tracks and some live recordings, including a version of "Miss Otis Regrets". In 2012, another remastered re-issue of the album was released by Salvo/ZTT, which again featured a second disc of bonus tracks.
Following her 1991 album Electric Landlady, MacColl returned to the studio to record the follow-up Titanic Days. However, in 1992, when Virgin was sold to EMI, MacColl was dropped from the label, resulting in Titanic Days being recorded without being backed by a record deal. When the album was completed, ZTT Records agreed to release the album as a "one-off" release.
The album was recorded at a time when MacColl's marriage to Steve Lillywhite was disintegrating. As such, the album's material reflected her personal issues at that time. The album was recorded in a small home studio at Ealing, due to the limited budget. The musicians who appeared on the recordings, largely from MacColl's own live band, had agreed to wait for payment for their contributions until a record deal was agreed upon. MacColl and her band spent two days at Townhouse Studios in London, where all the backing tracks were recorded.
All tracks composed by Kirsty MacColl and Mark E. Nevin; except where indicated
