About this album

AWB is the breakthrough album that made Average White Band international stars. Released in 1974, it sharpened the Scottish band’s mix of tight funk rhythms, supple soul vocals and crisp horn-driven arrangements into a sound that crossed over well beyond the genre. The record’s centrepiece, 'Pick Up the Pieces', became a major hit and one of the defining funk instrumentals of the decade, while songs such as 'Got the Love' and 'Person to Person' helped establish the group’s reputation for precision, groove and melodic confidence. Produced with a polished, band-focused attack, AWB remains one of the key albums in 1970s funk and soul.
