Market Value: $120

Recording for the same label as Sleder Thread (and no other), this band (also knows as Arc, but not the same as the other Arc from UK) made this roughshod single (pretty much punk, with a bit of a boogie) and nothing else, b-side to the affair being clunky, bluesy quasi-ballad, The Chase, which despite its mellow meander, plays more by NWOBHM rules than the boozy title track.
