The download here is a Tom Mix edited version of the 1971 hit "Albert The Albatross". It was a song written by Hans Poulsen who was busy having hits of his own and he gave the song to Jigsaw. It was a major hit in Victoria for the boys. As far as I know it has never been released on CD but many of their other tracks have. Hans Poulsen has been issuing his own compilation CD of his early hits which you can buy directly from the artist himself (just search in Google).
