Only a few songs from each of the bands 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 Freedoms 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, Pantagruels 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 Freedoms 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 Giants 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 rocks most influential bands.
