THE STORY OF BREAD (1976 BBC Radio Broadcast)
Safe and sanitised version of the story, broadcast in the UK for the 1976 reunion. Features some nice interviews with David... and an embarrassing mispronunciation of Larry's surname !
(Apologies for the missing one-minute opening)

BREAD "Cover Me Babe" (1970)
Rare contribution to the obscure 1970 movie of the same name. This track never appeared on any of the bands Elektra releases...

JAMES GRIFFIN "The Other Side"
Rare 1972 recording, taken from the soundtrack to TVs 'Ironside' detective series


JAMES GRIFFIN "Live In Memphis"
1982 US Radio Broadcast in good quality !!
Not professionally mixed or anything, so I guess it aired as it was recorded, but it still sounds pretty damn fine to me !


All I Need / Blood From A Stone / Honey Why / If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody / You Send Me / Aruba Town / Til Midnight / Roxanne / Lonely Girls / Goin' Back To Tennessee / Living In A Rock & Roll World

DANCE ON THE MOON
Lovely (and as yet unreleased) solo performance from James Griffin...


DAVID GATES "Open Up The Gates" (Expanded Edition)
Special 32-track expanded edition of this.. ahem... 'unofficial' collection, pulling together all of David's solo recordings from 1958-1965 (includes rarities from The Accents, The Vibes, Del Ashley, The Manchesters, The Country Boys, Dave & Lee, The Fencemen - and all of the 45s issued under David's own name). Great set ...

BREAD perform "The Chosen One"
Live on The Midnight Special (1977)


Love this one...
BREAD ON THE LINE
was a 1977 US Radio Broadcast appearing over the airwaves during February of that year, pulled together as a part of the publicity for the 'Lost Without Your Love' album, and the subsequent US tour.  Heavily biased towards David, but nice to listen to ! Please comment below if you'd like to hear more of these old radio shows and interviews ...

BREAD : LIVE IN 1973 (CHARLESTON WV)
Audience Recording (Quality C+)


Sadly, not quite the full concert ("BIAWY" is not included, plus "Mother Freedom" and "If" are missing at the end) but this is one of the few surviving concert audios from the band in their prime. Includes most of the other hits, plus "Dream Lady" "Down On My Knees" "Fancy Dancer" "I Don't Love You" "Just Like Yesterday" and "Too Much Love" ... along with a rockin' Chuck Berry medley !
16 tracks in total.
