The first concept album in Gentle Giant’s formidable body of work, ‘Three Friends’ remains a well-loved record that hints at greater glories to come. Published on. April 14, 2019. But even within this indulgent (and indulged) realm, Gentle Giant were on a different scale of accomplishment altogether. Founding brothers Derek, Phil and Ray Shulman had already tasted fleeting chart success with the momentarily modish Simon Dupree & The Big Sound, but that group’s winningly febrile trimmings provided approximately no clues as to the direction the Shulmans would pursue after forming Gentle Giant, in 1969, and embarking on a formidable journey that would see them create albums.

Gentle Giant's third album was their first concept album, as stated in the liner notes: "The idea of this album came about simply from normal conversations within the group. You know how people often reminisce about old school friends and wonder whatever became of them; or the people who surprise us with their successes or failures. Anyway, the theme in this album is based on three people - friends at school but inevitably separated by chance, skill and fate.
But this is probably their most simple and beautiful piece. Three Friends is the first and only album of Gentle Giant with drummer Malcolm Mortimore who had replaced Martin Smith, their former drummer, after their first two studio albums, their eponymous debut and their second Acquiring The Taste. Despite this isn’t the only change into their line up, this is the only case of substitution of their band’s members. As in opposition to many other contemporary bands, Gentle Giant always had a very constant line up. The other only change was the departure of Phil Shulman after the release of their following fourth studio album Octopus.
