Three Piece Suite

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Following the highly successful releases of the Steven Wilson s remixes of The Power And The Glory and Octopus Steven has now remixed a specially curated selection of songs and compositions from the band s first three albums (Giant Acquiring the Taste Three Friends) presented in both 5.1 surround sound and stereo. Only a few songs from each of the band s first three albums are known to exist as multi-tracks with the rest presumably lost and it is these nine tracks - plus the previously unreleased pre-debut song Freedom s Child - that have been remixed by Steven Wilson for this very special release. Three Piece Suite includes the songs Giant Nothing At All and Why Not from the first album Giant Pantagruel s Nativity The House The Street The Room from the second album Acquiring The Taste and Schooldays Peel the Paint Mr. Class And Quality and Three Friends from the album Three Friends. The previously commercially unreleased song Freedom s Child is from the first recording sessions with legendary producer Tony Visconti. The liner notes contain an essay by noted journalist Anil Prasad in which Gentle Giant s members reflect upon the writing and recording sessions. Furthermore Steven Wilson and Tony Visconti share their observations about the early days of this unique collection of timeless music from one of progressive rock s most influential bands.
