The Power and the Glory is the sixth studio album by British music group Gentle Giant. The 1974 album is largely based on the Graham Greene novel of the same name. The band recorded the album during December 1973 and January 1974 at Advision Studios.
In the United States, the album was released by Capitol Records. The release in the United States took place earlier than in the rest of the world. Problems with their then management were to blame. This dichotomy cost them a place in the record lists of England. Too many albums had already been sold through parallel imports from America for it to become a top album in England as well. In America, it reached number 30 in some lists. The original closing track Valedictory is a variation of the opening track; a trick of the band to have the album recognized as a concept album.
