Such a spectacular time we all had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember first listening to this band back in 1975 their hit then was "Pick Up The Pieces". At first I thought it was James Brown only to find out it was a self contained band from Scotland. In those days it was a pleasure to listen to bands who could play it live as well as in the studio. I lived in a small city at the time on the east coast with a venue just as small so not every top group came to town. Fortunately there were show's on TV such as In Concert and The Midnight Special that brought live music of top bands into my home. AWB was one of them. Even though the band is down to two original members I still can listen to them all night.

The whole band is an amazing blessing of funk!! Even the bass has a little hint of a Jaco Bounce!! Thank you AWB!!!

Not unlike Level 42 though, same period - UK kids from the Isle of White, somehow managed to catch the eye of Earth Wind & Fire members Larry Dunn, Andrew Woolfolk and Verdine White who invited them to the US and produced their album Standing In the Light and a first big chart hit The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up). Level 42 went from a borderline jazz ensemble (focussed on instrumentals) to a forerunner in the British jazz / funk wave of the 80's. The addition of Alan Murphy on guitar (a key driver of Go West's early tracks) with his clean overdrive and sustain gave them a burning energetic edge, particularly when playing live.
