The turn of a friendly card - The Alan Parsons Project

The title track of the Alan Parsons Project album 'The turn of a friendly card' was released as a single in the autumn of 1980. On the album, the track was divided into two parts of 2'44 and 3'22. The single version lasts 3'20 but is not the same as part two.

The single appeared in the Dutch Tipparade, the 'bubbling under' chart for the Top 40, but did not reach the top 40 itself. Still, it made enough of an impression on me to still want to have it a decade later.

My collection: 7" single no. 1461
Found: Grammofoonwinkel, Utrecht, June 27, 1991
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'The turn of a friendly card' / 'Snake eyes'
