Gentle Giant - Three Friends (@320)

Three Friends (1972) is a concept album by the British progressive rock band Gentle Giant. The group's third album was

also their first American release to chart, peaking at #197 on the Billboard 200. It marked a change in drummers from

Martin Smith to Malcolm Mortimore. It is Gentle Giant's first concept album, dealing with three childhood friends whose

lives take them very different places. It was also their first self-produced album. The two former albums were produced

by David Bowie and T.Rex producer Tony Visconti. Gary Green's guitar solo on "Peel the Paint" uses an echoplex

belonging to Mike Ratledge that Green's brother Jeff, a roadie with Ratledge's band Soft Machine, had borrowed.
