Sea Shells

The album was possibly thought by her record company to be too esoteric, hence its later release. It was her last recording for Decca Records. The album is considered one of Miss Lee's more personal records, featuring a mix of love ballads and poems. Peggy also wrote her own liner notes for the release.
