M-A only mentions the 1985 Demo and the 1986 Live album "Race The Night". Race the night was re-released in 1998 and again in 2020, both with the 4 track 1985 Demo as a bonus and under the band name "Beneath The Surface".

The band formed in 1981 and my records have Demo I noted as being released in 1981, Demo II in 1984 and Demo III in 1985.
This is the very scarce Demo I, recorded 1981 - a terrific NWOBHM release from the tygerhead collection. Live versions of tracks 2 and 4 ended up on their Live album 5 years later. This demo has a slightly harder edge than the average NWOBHM band with AOR leanings.
