A small independent label, headed by Teddy Ruster with Allan Austin as a director. Sea Horse operated out of premises at 2 Lambolle Place, NW3. An article in 'Music Week' of the 7th of July 1979 stated that the company was looking for acts, and that it intended to limit its roster to two bands at most. Ruster is reported as saying that Sea Horse had its sights set on an international market, not just the home one, but the results seem to have been less than spectacular. In the event two singles appeared, but for some reason there was a gap of several years between them. 'I'll Get Stoned' b/w 'I'll Never Give It Up' by Shades came out in October 1979, via Pinnacle, with a catalogue number of SH-1; but 12-SH-2, a 12" single by Bohard featuring several mixes of 'Maybe Tomorrow', didn't see the light of day until 1987.
