Essentials

Had a Bread greatest hits but was missing Goodbye Girl by David Gates. This one has them all.

Great selection of songs, just a very long wait to receive it...still waiting

Great collection. Great clean recordings too. This has al the wonderful songs we all enjoyed from David Gates. You will enjoy this.

They could be one of the group of singers in the 1970's However, I like listening to their songs because they give me a feeling of relaxation.

Great classic music, good selection of songs that I like, havent heard them in a while so some good old favorites for my collection...

This group had some special songs that really reflected some of my feelings, when I was younger and in college.

When Bread came on the scene in the late 1960s/early 1970s they found a niche which apart from maybe The Carpenters, was not over populated. That niche was Soft Rock with clear, clean production throughout and nearly all songs of love or lost love.One or two songs fell into sentimentality, Diary and Aubrey, come to mind, but the vast majority are top class songs which come across as effortlessly as breathing!The cream of the crop is 1972's Guitar Man and 1978's Goodbye Girl.The former challenges The Carpenters Goodbye To Love, also from 1972, as the first Soft Rock song. To be honest I can't split them they both get 10 out of 10 from me.Goodbye Girl is a classic Singer/Songwriter tune which I don't tire hearing.So if you want to go back to the 1970s, this CD will certainly help.

For me, this is the best compilation of BREAD. The song "Goodbye Girl" is included and that...is a real classic! I never get tired of listening to their songs...so pure and sincere. But the reason I only gave it four stars because their other classic, "Clouds" is not included in this cd. Who can ever forget that song especially the long version..."Clouds Suite" ... nevertheless, owning this cd is absolutely worth it!
