Item :

GENTLE GIANT ~ THREE FRIENDS LP

Original 1972 U.K. first issue pressing released on the swirl Vertigo label 6360 070.

Description :

Very rare and hard to find prog classic.

After their self-titled debut and the follow-up "Acquiring The Taste" Gentle Giant recorded "Three Friends" in 1972. This was the band's first concept album, and was based around the theme of three boys who are "inevitably separated by chance, skill and fate" as they become men. Over the course of the album, the three friends travel on from being childhood schoolfriends to become, respectively, a road digger, an artist and a white-collar worker. In the process, they lose their ability to relate to each other or understand each other's lifestyles. The development and fate of each character is musically represented by separate yet integrated styles from hard rhythm-and-blues-edged rock to symphonic classical stylings.

Condition ~ Vinyl :

The vinyl is in super clean stunning NEAR MINT condition with only the most miniscule signs of use. Doesn't look as though it's been played more than once or twice and there are still some of those tiny bits of plastic around the spindle hole that disappear after more than a couple of plays.

Condition ~ Sleeve :

The gatefold sleeve is in EXCELLENT shape with just very light overall wear but no splits, tears or writing.

Condition ~ Labels :

Both labels show virtually no spindle wear and are nice and clean. No writing.
