The Three Faces of Al
Live album by Firesign Theatre
Released	1984
Genre	Comedy

The Three Faces of Al is a 1984 comedy album by the group Firesign Theatre. It features the group members reprising well-loved characters from earlier collaborations, notably hard-boiled detective Nick Danger and his nemesis Police officer Al Bradshaw.

A recurring theme in previous albums was Danger insulting Bradshaw by forgetting his current rank, referring to him as Sergeant Bradshaw, when Bradshaw had been promoted to Lieutenant. In this album Bradshaw is the District Attorney, but Danger still refers to him by his Police rank.

In earlier albums the characters refer to the Anselma Pederasty case. Even though this album occurs years later than the other albums, it is about that case. But Anselma Pederazy is a mod boss. The case was not actually about pederasty. Not appearing on the album is David Ossman, who had already left the group at this point. Ossman would return for good in 1998, on the album Give Me Immortality or Give Me Death.
