AWB Quadio

Average White Band The band name may have been self-effacing, but these six white guys – from Scotland, no less – cut one of the funkiest records of the 1970s in AWB. Certainly some of the credit for the band's Atlantic Records debut goes to veteran R&B producer Arif Mardin, but one listen to the set's No.1 hit “Pick Up The Pieces” reveals some serious instrumental chops at work here. The original material on this 1974 collection, including such tracks as “Person To Person” and “You Got It,” was tailor-made for dancefloors. Currently part of Rhino’s Quadio series, the chart-topping AVERAGE WHITE BAND now sounds better than ever. "You Got It" – 3:38 "Got the Love" – 3:52 "Pick Up the Pieces" – 3:58 "Person to Person" – 3:38 "Work to Do" – 4:21 "Nothing You Can Do" – 4:06 "Just Wanna Love You Tonight" – 3:57 "Keepin' It to Myself" – 3:52 "I Just Can't Give You Up" – 3:24 "There's Always Someone Waiting" – 5:38
