Description
Three 12" vinyl compilation albums (each containing 12 songs, many of which were hit singles) by the 1970s US pop group Bread and their lead songwriter David Gates. These are The Best of Bread volumes 1 and 2 (issued in 1972 and 1974 respectively) and Goodbye Girl by David Gates (issued in 1978), which comprises 6 new songs and 6 of the best tracks from his two earlier solo albums. All of these albums are on Elektra Records (distributed by EMI in UK), with UK-made discs and sleeves. All are in excellent condition with no damage to the records or sleeves and only the most minimal signs of wear.
Best of Bread vol 1 (catalogue number K42115) – has an attractive sleeve with sunny colour photos of the band. The sleeve is almost immaculate without any damage at all, and only a couple of extremely small and minor spine creases.
Best of Bread vol 2 (catalogue number K42161) – has a gatefold sleeve which is almost immaculate without any damage at all, and only a couple of extremely small and minor spine creases. There are a number of very small white dots on the front cover – presumably from the printing process but not due to any damage. Includes an inner sleeve with lyrics – this is undamaged but has some slight signs of discolouration near to the edges, due to age.
Goodbye Girl (catalogue number K52091) – the sleeve has a couple of very minor spine creases, but is otherwise undamaged and unmarked. Includes a lyric sheet which is undamaged but has some small pale marks in places across it.
I have owned all three of these albums since they first came out, and they have been played only a few times (before being taped for listening in car), and carefully stored unused for 35 years. The vinyl discs are in immaculate condition, with no marks or signs of wear at all, and my recollection of last listening to them is that there is no audible damage of any kind.

If sent through the post, the albums will be very carefully packaged, but to minimise any risk collection would also be welcome (near Church Stretton, south Shropshire).
