AWB is the second studio album by the Scottish funk and soul band Average White Band, released in August 1974.
AWB topped Billboard's Pop Albums and Black Albums charts. Its million-selling single "Pick Up the Pieces" knocked Linda Ronstadt's "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 1973 so-called "Clover Sessions."
All songs arranged by Average White Band. All horn parts arranged by Roger Ball.
