The Alan Parsons Project - Turn of a Friendly Card (Official HD Video)

Official HD Video for “Turn of a Friendly Card“ by The Alan Parsons Project `The Turn Of A Friendly Card’ was the first single from the album of the same name released in 1980. Lead vocals from APP regular Chris Rainbow and the usual APP musicians were playing (Ian Bairnson on guitar, David Paton on base, Stuart Elliott on drums and percussion and Eric Woolfson on piano and harpsichord. Andrew Powell arranged and conducted The Munich Chamber Opera orchestra. The album was written when Eric Woolfson was living very close to the Monte Carlo casino, which he often frequented. Themes of gambling run throughout the album and the lyrics of this track tell a beautifully sad tale of gambling addiction. Some of the video footage was filmed at Eric Woolfson’s home in London. Eric actually wrote a completely different song with the same name in the 60s, but it was never released. However he always liked the title so used it again for this track.
