Hard to really describe the style, they are heavy-ish at times, at others really...well lame
Give it a listen. The only outright bad songs are 'Paladin' and 'The Bard', simply too soft and lacking in good melodies. The solo section of 'Xanadu' is wonderful.

This one's new to me, will be fun to check it out, thanks!
==================================
Post-listen:
This is a wonderful 12", I do agree with what you said about the song Paladin, it feels very out of place and weaker than supposed to, The Bard however is a beautiful ballad and a perfect closing song. Overall superb, the highlights where "Thunder Rider" and "Kamikaze".

A classic of Hard Rock/AOR. Very rare to find the vinyl.

It has been sold 10 times on eBay this year alone. Averages at 70-80 USD.

Until 2008 it was almost impossible to find.
I never had a copy in my hands. And today with my responsabilities i won't pay 20 bucks a song specially when there are much beter things to buy.
I don't live in 1 of the richest countries on Earth you know...

I am aware of that, I just wanted to demonstrate that it is not as rare as I felt you made it out to be, I did not mean to attack you personally. Sorry if you took it that way.
