Triumph - official original album archive
The official store explicitly identifies Triumph as the original 1976 debut and explains its later retitling as In the Beginning in 1995, with another remaster in 2005. Its original program distinguishes Street Fighter from its separate reprise and presents Blinding Light Show/Moonchild as one track. | Reviewed 2026-10-19
Triumph - official original album chronology
The official artist chronology identifies the original studio album years and separates live and remixed releases. Its Never Surrender heading uses 1983; the official store and licensed album metadata independently establish the earlier 1982 year used here. No month or day is asserted. | Reviewed 2026-10-19

About Triumph
Triumph formed in Toronto in 1975 with guitarist and singer Rik Emmett, bassist and keyboardist Mike Levine, and drummer and singer Gil Moore. Their combination of melodic hard rock and elaborate concert production developed through Just a Game and Allied Forces. Lay It on the Line belongs to the 1979 album, while Fight the Good Fight comes from the 1981 release. Both retain the trio's group identity here.
