Widely and rightly regarded as one of the best ever soul and funk bands, the now legendary Average White Band tore-up the rule book and conquered the US, UK & International charts with a series of soul and disco hits between 1974 and 1980. Snoop Dogg, FatboySlim, Ice Cube, Puff Daddy, TLC, Rick Ross, will.i.am and Mark Ronsonamongst countless others, have all borrowed sections of their grooves. This ‘Gold’ 3CD collection, features all of the band’s international hits, including collaborations with Ben E. King, album favourites, alongside a number of tracks heavily sampled by many leading Hip-Hop Artists, as well as live performance favourites in this 45-track set.
