Led by singer/keyboardist Mark Mangold, Valhalla featured the talents of bassist Rick Ambrose, percussionist Bob Hulling, guitarist Don Krantz, and drummer Eddie Livingston. They apparently started out as a cover band playing Long Island clubs, opening for name groups such as John Sebastian , The Buddy Miles Express, and Tony William\'s Lifetime. Manager Jim Fowley pressured the band to start writing and performing their own material. Spotted by a United Artists A&R man, they were signed by the label, following a string of late-'60s New York based bands who signed major label recording deals.
