"Three Friends" is the 3rd full-length studio album by UK progressive rock act Gentle Giant. The album was released through Vertigo Records in the UK in April 1972. The Columbia Records US version features a different cover artwork to the UK version. It´s the successor to "Acquiring the Taste" from 1971 and features one lineup change since the predecessor as drummer Martin Smith has been replaced by Malcolm Mortimore. "Three Friends" is a concept album release, featuring a story about three school friends, who end up doing very different things with their lives. It´s a fairly simple story, which at it´s core is about the loss of innocence (and the adult melancholic longing for childhood friendships), and the fact that adulthood isn´t always what children perceive it to be.
