First / Never Let Her Go (1973 / 1975) brings together the first two solo albums from Bread's brilliant mastermind, David Gates. Following his departure from the chart-topping soft-rock group, Gates proved he hadn't lost his touch for immaculate pop. First shines with the quirky "Soap (I Use The)" and the lush "Suite: Clouds, Rain," while Never Let Her Go delivers melody-driven gems like the title track—a #3 Adult Contemporary hit—and the easygoing "Playin' on My Guitar." Together, these two albums offer a double dose of the pristine arrangements that made Gates a 1970s radio staple.

Quadraphonic sound, or 4.0 surround sound, utilizes four audio channels connected to four speakers positioned at the corners of a listening space. The multi-tracked audio is mixed dimensional, immersing the listener in an expansive soundscape.
