Just putting in a shout for The Average White Band "1st" Album ( the White one with their logo on the front)
It's a great collection of songs, well played and really nicely produced. I didn't appreciate how good it was when I first had it all those years ago, but listening to it now, it's the best thing I've heard in ages.
If you like that sort of thing of course....;-)
Listening to AWB today - what quality music. Wish i could see them live. Not even sure they are still together.

Supported the AWB at the Tramshed in about 87/88, very good live band.

Saw them live at Love Supreme Festival in 2016. They were pretty good. The entire lineup that year was excellent, to be honest!
Re-discovered Greenslade after opening up my box of 100+ Cassette tapes recently. Top band and still performing by all accounts. Just listened to Time & Tide......one of the best. Anyone remember the BBC series "Gangsters"? from the mid 70's? Also Love "Cactus Choir"
Not the sort of stuff I normally listen to at home or on the train, but I recently remembered I had a copy of the Prodigy's Fat of the Land in my collection, and it's great exercise music for the gym

Racist
Would only be racist if they were better than average WB

Featuring the splendidly named flautist/keyboardist, Thijs Van Leer. Wish I had a quid for every time I’ve been asked if we are related.
Thanks I’ll Eat it Here, by Lowell George from 1979. Up there with Little Feat’s finest.
If you like AWB, check out Hamish Stuart at the 606 or at odd little pubs round Faversham way from time to time. He rocks up with Ash Soan, Pino Palladino, Snake Davis and the absolute cream of UK sessioners, and recreates the AWB vibe way better than his erstwhile partner Alan Gorrie who he fell out with but who kept the band name.
Gavin Clark - Beautiful Skeletons, only 500 of this brilliant compilation released at the time, thanks to spotify its easy to listen to now. A mix of solo works, some of the songs he wrote with Sunhouse and tracks he composed for Shane Meadows films.
FOCUS in Victoria, London, 1976. Splendid musicianship, lovely chord progression, phrasing, variation, and yodeling. An eclectic mix of Jazz-fusion, funk and classical. Sublime, relaxing music from the Dutch maestros.

Cheers JVL, must admit, I did see Hamish at the 606 once - very good he was too. I assume he lives Faversham way?

I saw Hamish Stuart do a set of AWB numbers at Kenney Jones polo club a couple of years ago. He was very good.

forgot about that lush album, the pale saints debut from about the same time on 4AD is also a goodun
Me too,- all of them today so far, plus Loveless by MBV for the first time in about a year.
Wish i could see them live. Not even sure they are still together.
Quality stuff.
Also Love "Cactus Choir"
I think some of it has probably stood the test of time quite well.
Some is very hippyish.

Frampton comes alive
Also, agree entirely. AWB are superb.
Turning Point- John Mayall. The Sax and flute playing on this album by Johnny Almond is exquisite.
All Jeff Beck albums, there are a lot of them, after watching a programme about him on TV.
