This is the first record from that other great, Canadian (Toronto-area), 3-man rock and roll band: Triumph. In that unique and narrow category - they are my favorite, as my Rush fan pals all know. Rush is a very close 2nd in that category. Are there more than two? But more accuartely and generally - they just happen to one of my all-time favorite bands of all time - regardless of size or country of origin.
This is the back cover, photo, right. Their eponymous and first album which came out in 1976, the year I stated high schoool. But I had not caught on to them until my pal Greg played Hold On from their 1979 album, called Just a Game. This album was later on re-titled In the Beginning (then remastered again in 2005). The back cover shows a large, for the day, mixing board. The drummer sings on some songs - but I like Rik Emmett best for that. Hold On is one of the most underrated rock athems of all time. Thanks Greg!

Just picked up a minty copy on vinyl. Any idea what type of guitar he is holding. I have only been wondering since 1976. thanks. Dave
ReplyDeleteI used to work for them. Framus Akkerman. He just got it before recording this album.
