Where can I get it? :( Is it still in the $150-200 bracket?
Yeah, that seems to be the going rate - not below the €100 mark anyways. Still kicking myself for not grabbing a €65 copy at a Stockholm fair some years ago :(

Still, only like 3 good tracks on it. Plus the great cover... Jethro Tull meets metal, THOUGH 'Cold Wind To Valhalla' is pretty metal by Tull to me (I'm biased as they are one of my favourite bands ;))

-Which is the first pressing? Is this Korean pressing like the Japaneese pressings on Combat - It was pressed in the Far East before there were any CD pressing plants in the US?

- is the korean pressing worth anything? is it worth more than the US pressing?
Correct, there are two pressings of this CD. I'm not sure which is the absolute first pressing, but they were both put out in 1986. From my personal perspective, the US pressing seems to pop up less often, although, (And I believe from lack of knowledge that two different pressings exist) both tend to sell for around the same price. Circa 1986 there were both US and Canadian CD pressing plants, so I'm not exactly sure why two different pressings were done. Perhaps they were just intended for different markets? I recently sold a copy of the South Korean pressing on eBay and there were quite a few watchers so that confirms interest in it anyway. There is also South Korean pressings that Enigma/Metal Blade put out for a few of their other CD releases as well, such as, Omen, Lizzy Borden, etc and these releases seem to be manufactured exclusively in '86 and '87. What I'm trying to figure out is why these were manufactured in South Korea of all places. Quite odd.

As far as I know the inserts in the SK release were printed in the US, so guess is that those new, pioneer CD plants in North America were quite expensive at the time and maybe thats why some of the CDs were pressed in SK. Maybe for the European market only, as there was no specific european release at the time. hm....

How rare is the STUD 7''? I'm probably having one in a trade, but need to know if it is worth it or not.

What's the music like on the Maelstrom 7" that recently got sold on eBay by Haupt? Tracks are 'Singing In The Rain'/'Waiting For My Woman'. Shit or gold?

Don't know. I think one of the songs is on one of those greek bootleg cds, but I don't have that particular one.

Well,it's pretty crappy music,nothing special.It IS heavy metal,no hair or glam stuff,but nothing that will blow your mind and for sure nothing you would relish on after a few spins....

Pretty rare, I believe. Haven't seen one copy though I've been actively browsing through various Finnish record shops' and second hand shops' selections. Sadly missing from collection... It's one of the better Finnish 7" from the 80's for sure.

Thanks for the help. Maybe I'm getting this one + another finnish single for a HELL 7''.
