Available with Vinyl records London. Clear Vinyl Vinyl Records LP Vinyl Average White Band Widely and rightly regarded as one of the best ever soul and funk bands, the now legendary Average White Band toreup the rule book and conquered the US, UK & International charts with a series of soul and disco hits between 1974 and 1980. AWB’s repertoire has been a source of inspiration and influence for many R&B acts and they are one of the most s&led bands in history, remaining relevant today, continuing to reach new generations of younger audiences. Snoop Dogg, Fatboy Slim, Ice Cube, Puff Daddy, TLC, Rick Ross, will.i.am and Mark Ronson amongst countless others, have all borrowed sections of their grooves. After the success of 1979’s ‘Feel No Fret’, the band went into the studio record their next album and in 1980, ‘Shine’ was released with the worldwide Chart and Club hit ‘Let’s Go ‘Round Again’, reaching 14 in the UK Albums Chart. However, there was a backstory behind the album’s release, which Alan Gorrie and Hamish Stuart have annotated in the LP notes. To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of ‘Shine’, AWB past and present have reconfigured the album as they had originally intended, bringing in the four tracks that they had to ‘leave’ behind when they changed record labels. In addition, due to separate behind the scenes situations, two further tracks were unable to be included on the album and remained unreleased until this century. ‘On The Strip – The Sunset Sessions’ is what ‘Shine’ could have been a slightly longer 2LP set, heralding in the new decade. The album includes the singles ‘Let’s Go ‘Round Again’ and ‘For You, For Love’, as well as ‘Whatcha’ Gonna Do For Me’, which later become synonymous with Chaka Khan, who recorded it the following year, having sung on an earlytake for AWB, when they were recording the album. ‘Miss Sun’ makes it longawaited inclusion on the album for which it had been recorded until fate dealt another hand, with permission being withheld then appearing as the lead track on Boz Scaggs’ ‘Hits’ LP reaching 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. 40 years on, Average White Band still ‘shine’ brightly and remain highly influential for today’s groovemerchants and EDM DJs.

Official Clear Vinyl

See the music. Clear vinyl editions showcase the beauty of the record itself, often used for exclusive or special releases. Collectable, modern, and a striking addition to any turntable.

Official Double Vinyl

Twice the wax, double the depth. Double LPs spread music across two records to preserve sound quality and include bonus tracks, alternate takes, or extended mixes. A premium choice for albums that deserve more space to breathe.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.
