There's nothing quite like the Sound of Bread. Since they were first formed in 1969 they have produced some of the most sophisticated pop music the world has ever heard.
It all began when three studio musicians decided to use their considerable talents for their own ends. David Gates, Robb Royer and James Griffin were all fine session men - and knew each other via a group called Pleasure Faire. From that basis came Bread.
Their hit single Make It With You gave them immediate success, and It Don't Matter To Me clinched it. Five albums and a string of hit singles between '70 and '72 kept the band almost constantly in the charts. They changed their line-up twice in that time: Adding drummer Mike Botts and substituting Larry Knechtel for Rob Royer (who left to concentrate on songwriting).
This album, 'The Sound Of Bread', features their most popular hits of the past seven years. Original liner notes, 1977

I thank you for your promo link on one of my blog pages. I certainly don't mind you "spamming" me with a rip of a CD done right. I for one would have missed this as I have the Audiophile category bookmark and only scan the main Music page occasionally. I was a big fan of Bread when I was a kid. I made my own Bread CD compilation years ago with virtually the same track listing gathering my favorites from the CD's and MP3's I had. This Bread compilation will be nice to hear.
You list the release date as 1977, this must have been a European two LP compilation. I had never seen it. The Americans must pay artist royalties on a per track basis for each album. In Europe artists are paid a flat rate per album. That is why the UK got the Beatles albums with 14 tracks and Capitol USA released 10 track butchered LP's. If a US label put out a 14 track LP they "would not have made any money". We in the US only got a 12 track "Best of Bread". Only twenty years later did we get the revised 21 track "Best of Bread"
After Led Zeppelin became the king of Hard Rock (I was never a fan). Bread was the counter as the pioneer of the Soft Rock sounds of the early to mid seventies. This compilation has all the must have Bread tracks. Thanks a bunch for sharing !!
I agreed with your comment thtat this rip could belong in the Audiophile section. I did that with a CD rip I posted before Christmas. At first it was approved and appeared under Audiophile but a few days later was gone. I have just started to post (as doctarippa) rips of my Peter Paul and Mary CD's. Likewise they are all uncompressed and remixed or remastered from the best tape sources by Peter Yarrow. I doubt PPM will never be redone in any better. The old PPM vinyls just sound dead in comparison to the 1992 remasters.
If it says SHM or 24-bit remastered CD, but sounds like crap, it can go in Audiophile. Perhaps a waveform screen shot should be required just the same as a logfile is required. That way we could see if the CD looks like another Tsunami of Loudness.
This compilation was released in 1977 on vinyl (which I also have - although it's not a great pressing, so wouldn't be worth ripping even if I had sufficiently good gear). The original vinyl has 10 tracks per side (it's a single LP, not a double). Yeah, we got 'The Best Of Bread' in the UK too - I think that was released a year or so after the band's first break up, circa '73. Then they reformed in '76 and broke up again after one album, and then 'The Sound Of Bread' was released the following year (record companies always put out compilations soon after break-ups!).
It may be a UK/European album, I'm not sure. I think there is an American CD called 'Bread Anthology' which is exactly the same track listing, just repackaged.
As for your comments about Capitol butchering the Beatles albums - absolutely right, hence the band's protest on the cover of compilation album 'Yesterday And Today' depicting themselves as baby butchers. They were saying to Capitol "These records are our babies, and you're butchering them!" And as if removing and changing tracks wasn't enough, Capitol also applied extra reverb to many of the masters (in their infinite wisdom) which means that the US masters are a generation removed from the original masters that were shipped over. Utterly criminal! But in a way The Beatles and EMI were laughing as many disgruntled Americans bought the albums again on UK import!
Bread's music must have been very well recorded, to begin with.
Thanks a lot!
Gracias,
