AWB

AWB is the second studio album by the Scottish funk and soul band Average White Band, released in August 1974 (see 1974 in music). An enormous best-seller, AWB was the Average White Band's breakthrough record. AWB topped Billboard's Pop Albums and Black Albums charts. Its million-selling single "Pick Up the Pieces" knocked Linda Ronstadt's classic "You're No Good" out of #1 on Billboard's Hot 100. A 2004 expanded re-issue from Sony/Columbia in the UK includes a bonus CD with several demo session recordings made before the group joined Atlantic Records – taken from the so-called 'clover sessions'
