VdGG & Gentle Giant. The singles / #7's

These are all the regular #7's both bands ever released (promos and EP's excluded). I'm just fascinated that these actually exist - and some of them would have been so cool to actually own. What would be your pick?

The Power and the Glory/Playing the Game.

I'm Turning Around/Just The Same.

I'm in the mood for Mountain Time. Now to find a roll big enough to fit a mountain in. I'll need more mustard.

Two of my absolute favorite bands. 

Playing The Game ws my entry into GG altough I'm not a great fan tbh. I like VDGG more but they are not a 'singles' band and suprised they would even have put anything out in that regards. Their version of George Martin's Theme One was used as the theme music for Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show that ran from 1979 on BBC Radio (UK only).
