Title: Bread - Their First Album - Not a "Best of"
Review: This is how they group began after session work including Gate's work with Captain Beefheart (really!) They form their own group to make some Bread or maybe see a bread truck while trying to find a name to put them in the stores close to the Beatles and Cream...Dismal, Day, the opening track, is strong, but didn't make a big splash - those of us who love to sing along with Bread still don't know how they hit that opening line! Listen to the lyrics and autotune yourself or you may do some damage. London Bridge, a lament to things changing, though not for the better is from a bygone era when the real London Bridge was being moved to the American Southwest. There are the classic tracks like It Don't Matter To Me (and we can always forgive Gate's Okie Grammerisms) and some tracks you may never have heard! Family Doctor is a silly throwaway, but endearing somehow.Jim Gordon's drum on the studio album ties the group together well. He's replaced by Mike Botts when Gates, Griffin, and Robb Royer toured and produced their next two albums.They put on a great pop show and this is where it began. Hear this album as a unit, played from end to end rather than the hit snippit albums - it's well produced and varied and well-connected!

Title: Early and Overlooked
Review: It is perhaps impossible to think of Bread without associating them with the laid back, syrupy ballads that made them famous. However, their first release reveals that they had a lot more to offer. In fact, while I find their "hits" to be enjoyable still after many years, this self-titled album brings more rock and blues influenced material to the front. I find this album very enjoyable overall. Fans of late 60's early 70's rock/pop should also find much to enjoy with this release. If you just like the radio hits, a best of collection might be good enough for you. But if you want more Bread that shows the true versatility of this talented group, this is one to own. The tight vocal harmonies and the style of writing that made them a household word in the 70's are there, but be prepared for much more.- Scriptor

Title: a rare gem, if you can find it...
Review: This CD is almost worth the $30 asking price. ALMOST.The music is excellent, reminiscent of a time when radio friendly rock music was softening, record production and sound quality was ameliorating at an incredible rate, and artist competition made for excellent song-writing. That's the 1970s (to me) in a nutshell. Largely unnoticed even back then, Bread released solid hits that remain timeless.Finding Bread's debut album on CD (at a decent price) is near impossible. The compressed lossy files available for download don't do the album justice. One needs to hear it in lossless quality, because the nuances and softness of the production is half the fun. The other half is the songwriting. I can honestly say that there isn't a song by Bread that I skip. The debut is what got the ball rolling, and while critics back then didn't care for it much, it is an exquisite listening experience today.While not directly sold on amazon, if you're like me and you're frustrated with all the compilations and greatest hits offerings but want to hear the albums as they were, I recommend procuring the UK pressing "Original Album Series" by Source Interlink UK. It contains Bread's entire studio discography (first five albums), and is an immersive exposure to Bread, not some greatest hits compilation that ignores songs that never made it to radio airplay. I searched online and found a CD importer who shipped me the Original Album Series for $22 USD, including shipping. That's only about $4 for each album, brand new, in shrink wrap. The only issue with the Original Album Series is the lack of individual CD jewel cases for each album, as the set comes in a slim cardboard box, and each album is in its own cardboard vinyl LP replica "sleeve." I suppose the bright side to the packaging is its space-saving aspect, so there's that.Anyway, pick up this gem. You won't regret it!
