Released in 2009 by Elektra and Rhino Records, Bread – Original Album Series brings together five of the soft-rock pioneers’ most beloved studio albums in one beautifully presented collection. Spanning from their 1969 debut to 1972’s Guitar Man, the box set traces the evolution of David Gates, James Griffin, and Larry Knechtel as masters of melodic songwriting and lush vocal harmonies. Bread’s seamless blend of pop, folk, and country influences helped define the mellow, acoustic-driven sound of the early 1970s and earned them a lasting place in the history of classic rock radio.
Includes the band’s first five studio albums: Bread (1969), On The Waters (1970), Manna (1971), Baby I’m-A Want You (1972), and Guitar Man (1972).
Part of Rhino’s acclaimed Original Album Series, featuring high-quality reissues with faithful mini-LP sleeve artwork.
Each disc is housed in a cardboard replica sleeve, capturing the original vinyl aesthetic.
Features the group’s biggest hits — Make It With You, If, Baby I’m-A Want You, Everything I Own, Aubrey, and The Guitar Man.
A definitive overview of Bread’s signature mix of soft rock balladry and warm, West Coast production.
