Review: Vast majority of the Bread repertory - Bread was a rock band from Los Angeles, California. They placed 13 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1970 and 1977 and were a prime example of soft rock. The band consisted of David Gates, Jimmy Griffin, Robb Royer, Mike Botts who joined in the summer of 1969 and Larry Knechtel who replaced Royer in 1971. Before forming Bread, Gates had worked with Royer's previous band, The Pleasure Fair. Royer introduced Gates to his songwriting partner, Griffin, and the trio joined together in 1968 choosing the name "Bread" in 1969. Their debut album, Bread, was released in September 1969 and peaked at No. 127 on the Billboard 200. Songwriting on the album was split evenly between Gates and the team of Griffin-Royer. Jim Gordon, a session musician, accompanied the band on drums for the album. In the summer of 1969, Bread did some concerts with Gordon on drums But when Gordon's schedule conflicted and he proved unavailable for future outings, they quickly brought in Mike Botts as their permanent drummer. Botts appeared on their second album, On the Waters (peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard 200). This time their efforts quickly established Bread as a major act with the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit "Make It with You" in 1970, which was Bread's only No. 1 on the Hot 100. Their third album was the 1971 release titled Manna (#21), which included the Top 5 hit single, "If". As with the first album, songwriting credits were split evenly between Gates and Griffin-Royer. Royer left the group after three albums, although he would continue to write with Griffin, and was replaced by Larry Knechtel, a leading Los Angeles session musician in 1970. In January 1972 Bread released Baby I'm-a Want You, their fourth and most successful album, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. The title song was established as a hit in late 1971 before the album was released, also hitting No. 3. Follow-up singles "Everything I Own" and "Diary" also went Top 20. The Fifth album, Guitar Man, was released ten months later and went to No. 18. The album produced three Top 20 singles, "The Guitar Man" (#11), "Sweet Surrender" (#15), and "Aubrey" (#15), with the first two going to No. 1 on Billboard's adult contemporary chart. Unfortunately, this collection contains the vast majority of the Bread repertory. These songs are very soft rock and some even work as country or folk. The sound of these albums is sharp and clear. Highly recommended for those who enjoy soft rock. You can get this set through the desertcart marketplace for a bit under four dollars per CD delivered. That's a bargain that's hard to pass up. Review: Bread Original Studio Album Series - Very fast delivery. Great music collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003097B5K | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,789 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #2,398 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #2,978 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (506) | | Date First Available | February 4, 2010 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | CDRN98355 | | Label | Rhino | | Manufacturer | Rhino | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2010 | | Product Dimensions | 5 x 5 x 0.51 inches; 4.66 ounces | ## Images ![Original Album Series - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712AbeAX3dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vast majority of the Bread repertory *by P***U on December 30, 2013* Bread was a rock band from Los Angeles, California.

Great music collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Albums *by Y***D on December 18, 2023* I give this a five star rating because it has a lot of great music.! I read in one of the ratings that the buyer mostly liked the set, but that Bread doesn't sing any songs that rock. Not true. There are several tunes that rock like ,Freedom, Truckin', This Isn't What The Government. All very good songs. I consider this a very good purchase. I now have all the great songs that they left off the Ultimate Bread CD ## Frequently Bought Together - Original Album Series - Original Album Series - Original Album Series --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1845175-original-album-series](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1845175-original-album-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
