The Turn Of A Friendly Card is a progressive rock album by the Alan Parsons Project. It was released in 1980 (see 1980 in music). The album focuses on gambling, and loosely tells the tale of a middle-aged man who grows restless and takes a chance by going to a casino and betting all he's got, only to lose it all. The original LP had a side-long title piece, which on the CD version is broken up into 5 tracks. The Turn Of A Friendly Card is also notable for spawning the moderate hits "Games People Play" and "Time", Eric Woolfson's first lead vocal appearance.
