Do It Yourself - Seahorses (The)

...favourites on the album. I do like this one. Another that was released and did quite well during their popular days. The remainder of the 4 tracks are a mixture of existing Shed Seven songs with some bad Country and Western sounding slide guitar thrown in for good measure.
