Thanks for this! As for identifying tracks, I got nothing beyond what was already named.

I must admit I still enjoy Triumph's more commercial tracks (loved "Magic Power" as a kid and it still makes me smile). Having said that, "Blinding Light Show" is definitely where it's at and I agree they should have done more songs like that one.

Perhaps i unwittingly skewed too obscure with the content this time? Hope it was still an enjoyable listen. I have a soft spot for some of the commercial Triumph stuff too like 'Lay It On The Line', but the grander harder material like 'Street Fighter' has stood the test of time far better to my ears.

EDIT - I gave Triumph's 3rd LP 'Just A Game' a spin last night for the first time in about 20 years. Had forgotten all about 'Young Enough To Cry', a great lengthy bluesy track with a comparible feel to Zeppellin's 'Since I Been Lovin' You' with some great emotive geetar from Emmett. Great to hear it again & the sparse jazzy closer 'Suitcase Blues' has worn well too. Of the more typical Triumph fare 'Lay It On The Line' is the pick of the bunch for me, they got the commercial/ballsy balance just right, but 'Magic Power' sounds a bit too saccharine for my jaded ole ears nowadays.
I made the mistake of following this with their 2nd LP 'Rock & Roll Machine' where they spread themselves too thin trying to play every style under the sun. One or 2 good songs, but too many cover versions & mostly disappointing.
I'll give 'Progressions Of Power' a fresh listen soon, there were a couple of crackers on it from memory. 'Tear The Roof Off' anyone?

Is it time for me to post the full tracklist yet or should i leave it a little longer to allow latecomers a chance to name the unidentified remainder?

Perhaps it is still worth to wait for Khnud to tune in.

As a little encouragement for the 'name-that-tune' brigade i thought i'd post a partial tracklist naming only every 2nd song along with those already identified earlier in the thread by tbieri & Noisenik.

Hmm, I was curious to know the name of the band with a female singer somewhere in the middle! But it'd still not there!
For the rest I do not know anything, sorry.
Nearly everything sounds familiar but at the end I have to admit that I was wrong for most of the songs

Yeah, this mob were originally from Ohio (they started out under the name 'Tight'), but were based in Detroit. They did a bunch of recordings in 1984 in Toronto with Michael Wagener producing which were supposed to comprise their debut album, but it never came to pass. When the singer & guitarist later moved to L.A. they tried to stir up some label interest by using 4 of the '84 tracks as a promo cassette, hence the 1990 release date. I've no idea if they had put together a new west coast line-up of the band at this time or if it was entirely speculative.
Seems really weird to me that they would choose to call themselves Savage Grace as the 'Masters Of Disguise' band were making waves at that time & must have been on their radar, but also because there had been a prior 60s/70s act with the same name too who'd released a couple of major label albums and were from Detroit.
I can upload the whole 84/90 tape if you want, but unfortunately the rest of the material is very much in the AOR/Melodic Hard Rock mould & nothing else comes close to the majesty of 'Blood Money'. You can check out the rest of the tape via the YT links below & hear for yourself & if you still want an upload lemmy know. The first song made it to vinyl on 1985's 'WLLZ Motor City Rocks III' comp LP.

Very melodic indeed. And a bit too mellow also.
But i still like it! She's a really good singer, the sound is good, good musicanship, good songs.
So i am still interrested to have those songs on my phone!

No problem tbieri, i'll upload it tonight for you. Just wanted to make sure you weren't expecting too much as the sound throughout is quite different from 'Blood Money'. For that style of music it is however very well done & as you said, the singer has a great voice. One of the former members (i think it was the drummer) did at one point upload the entire unreleased album for d/l via a link i found on one of his old YT posts, but unfortunatelly that link was dead by the time i discovered it. If you're really keen perhaps a PM might persuade him to share the whole thing with you.

We got lucky, i had it on my PC rather than an external hard drive that i had to go hunting for. Here you go:
