The Turn of a Friendly Card is the fifth album by progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1980. The title piece of the album, which appears on Side 2 of the LP, is a 16-minute suite, which was broken up into five tracks (except on the West German CD pressing), with the five sub-tracks listed as sub-sections. The Turn of a Friendly Card album spawned the moderate hits "Games People Play" and "Time", the latter of which was Eric Woolfson's first lead vocal appearance.
