Valhalla are great though the remainder of these singles are just ok, though none are terrible like Atlantis Rising, ugh glad to delete that single...

Anyone have any further info on the standouts... Baseline and Valhalla? One also assumes there are demos out there.

Baseline was released in 1981 on Extra Bit (EXT 004), only a small amount had picture sleeves (mine is with xerox p/s), pretty damn rare until a friend of mine uncovered some copies. only 1 or 2 left I think, the rest sold to collectors. No demos are known.

Valhalla is much more rare, was on ebay a couple years ago for $400 - $600, released on Asgard (ASG 69151) never in p/s, they were from Hinckley I think. No demos are known.

Just listened to Atlantis Rising. Yeah, it is like a low-budget Marillion, but it's charmed me somehow. Diddlediddlediddly diddlediddlediddly...

But the voice! The voice!!!

Valhalla is THAT expensive? Sure it's good...but 400$ is a bit too much.

Valhalla is fucking rare ... Haven't seen one for sale for a couple of years. But if 10 or so copies will surface it will drop to about $80 - $100. Great 7'' though.
