5.0 out of 5 stars Where's 'Take me now', July 26, 2003
By Jose V. Andrada "Explorer" (Riyadh Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This Bread song collection keeps me stuck to my hi-fi. It has almost all the best hits. I don't have to hold the CD player remote to push fast forward. But I was looking for "Take me now" which keeps me reminiscing those good old high school days. I was a bit dissapointed discovering my favorite David Gates' love song was missing but I still recommend this gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Bread Compilation, December 6, 2006
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete David Gates And Bread Collection, May 16, 2006
By Kay (Hong Kong, CHINA) - See all my reviews
In this collection, you can find all the smash hits made by this soft rock group of the 70's like: Make It With You, If, Baby I'm-A Want You, Everything I Own, Diary to name but a few. Every track here is a gem with its remastered sound. I also own the 1990 released "Anthology" but the sound quality of that really lets me down. So I bought this one for a better sound quality and just like I knew, "PERFECT". The most important thing is that "Goodbye Girl" is included. Although it was a David Gates solo hits but it should be included in every Bread greatest hits collection in the future. Just like the title "The Essentials of David Gates And Bread". Highly recommended to every soft rock fans.
