The Pooh Sticks - Dying For It 7"
(Fierce Recordings [FRIGHT 034], 1989) [WALES]




Probably more than any other band that I know of, The Pooh Sticks, released several songs of theirs as single-song 7" singles (which is odd, in my opinion, just to press several records with one song...) but I'm gonna post a few of these songs. Here is a single version of their cover of a Vaselines' song.
