Guitar's Practicing Musicians (album)
"Guitar's Practicing Musicians" is a 1989 album by various artists. Allan appears on a track credited to Jeff Watson as main performer. The tune is a very odd choice for a Holdsworth solo: A funk/metal version of “Play that funky music”. Although the context is outright weird, Allan's solo is a pleasure in itself.

Jeff Watson on "Play That Funky Music"
Jeff wrote this on Facebook in 2018, I'm sad to have lost the original link:
"Here’s something unusual for Allan.. He was staying here at my place in Mill Valley, and I got a call to go to Petaluma to play on a guitar mag album. I asked if I could bring Allan along (after asking him if he wanted to tag along.. plus they had a couple of good brewpubs on the way..) and they all said heck yeah. I’m the one playing all the old sloppy remedial parts, but Allan’s playing over these changes are just bizarrely amazing... Just the best guitarist ever. And one of the nicest funniest friends ever. Such a sad loss."
