I love the Original Album Series. It is a cost effective way of adding artists and their albums to your music collection and much better than the 'hit and miss' compilations on offer.I was introduced to Bread a couple of years ago by a friend and I thought I had no right or reason to be drawn to their music. I simply thought I shouldn't and couldn't like them - how wrong I was.These five albums possess such an accomplished feel and depth that they have become an essential part of my music collection and my life.'Bread' the 1968 debut album is melancholic folk rock - "Loneliness comes and stays, torturing nights and days" writes and sings David Gates on 'Look At Me.'  Surely one of the greatest songwriters there has been.Their second album, 1970's 'On The Waters' introduces keyboards to Bread's music and expands musically from the debut. It could be described as the birth of soft rock, as is apparent on the single 'Make It With You.'I am currently listening to David Gates' 'First' while writing this review and it's musical kinship with Bread's third album - 1971's 'Manna' is obvious with it's lush string arrangements and piano based compositions.The harder edged and aptly titled 'Guitar Man' and, 'Baby I'm A Want You' - both released in 1972, make up the albums included in this collection. The band had introduced steel guitar and fiddle to the music by now which gave the albums a honky tonk, country tinged feel. 'Guitar Man' includes the hardest rocking song they ever did - 'Telecota.'Bread released a comeback album 'Lost Without Your Love' in 1977 which received only lukewarm reviews and isn't included here.These albums aren't remastered and the cardboard replicas of the original albums are difficult to read without glasses, but it is the music which is important and the words and music of David Gates, Rob Royer, James Griffin, Mike Botts and Larry Knechtel have brought me hours of pleasure and satisfaction for which I am grateful.

    This is classy pop that has worn well over the years - great value for money, too

Bread were something of a curious anomaly in their brief, but very successful career. They were signed to the Elektra Records label, an outfit that gave the world such counter-cultural heroes as The Doors, Love, The Stooges and the MC5. Bread were a straight-down-the line, middle-of-the-road adult-orientated Pop band. In lead singer and main writer David Gates, they had a front man who possessed a strong, smooth, very appealing voice, with a great emotive range, and who showed an unabashedly romantic lyrical sensibility, effortlessly crooning such MOR standards as 'If' (memorably destroyed by Telly Savalas), 'Baby I'm-A Want You', 'Guitar Man' and 'Everything I Own', the latter of which was written by Gates in memory of his late father, although it can also be read as love song, too. These Original Album Series sets offer up good value for money in no-frills packaging, and at under a tenner a pop, this is ridiculously good value. All of these albums are chock-full of melodic gems, slickly produced and musically very well-rendered. I suppose the likes of Bread eased the path for the likes of The Carpenters, and it's easy to forget that, in the late sixties and early seventies, there were legions of music fans who didn't want to "Turn on, tune in, and drop out", or join The Revolution. As such, music like this proved the kind of soothing musical balm when the guitars got too loud.David Gates split Bread up around 1973, going solo - he never really matched the heights of his former band, however, and his real musical legacy is found within the sounds of these five albums. This is classy pop that has worn well over the years.
