Bread is the self-titled debut album by soft rock band Bread, released in 1969.
Bread peaked at #127 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. The re-recorded track "It Don't Matter to Me" was issued as a single after the release of Bread's second album, On the Waters, and the #1 success of "Make It with You" in the summer of 1970. "It Don't Matter to Me" peaked at #2 and #10 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary and Pop Singles charts, respectively.
The album's cover, with whimsical depictions of the band members photos on paper currency, refers to contemporary slang equating "bread" to money.
