Description:
2009 two CD set containing a trio of albums from the above-average Scottish Funk band: Show Your Hand (1973), the unreleased How Sweet Can You Get (1974) and their official sophomore album Average White Band (1974). Their debut album, Show Your Hand, is expanded to feature eight bonus tracks, seven of which are previously unreleased. The second disc commences with what was intended to be the band's second album for MCA, How Sweet Can You Get?. However MCA rejected it, and it was only ever issued as part of a White Album package many years later. We have now created its intended sleeve for the first time for this special release

Producer Arif Mardin heard the songs, signed the band to Atlantic Records and set about re-recording eight of the songs along with two new compositions. The resulting album Average White Band was issued in September 1974 and was sitting at the top of the charts by Christmas (along with 'Pick Up The Pieces'), going on to spend a whole year in the listings.
