This is a track from the very rare album "Love In Peace" by Paz, which recently surfaced on YouTube. This is the only track Allan appears on. The track has two distinct parts. On the first part, Allan plays some of his trademark volume pedal chords along with Ray Warleigh on flute. (Allan does not appear on the second part, which features flute, piano and bass.) | This is a track from the very rare album "Love In Peace" by Paz, which recently surfaced on YouTube.

The album was released in 1991, but the credits state that the recordings were made “during the late seventies and through the eighties”. The guitar sound is strikingly similar to the sound on tracks such as “Shallow Sea” on “I.O.U.”, and Allan moved to the U.S. soon after “I.O.U.”’s release, so in this case it’s a fair guess that the track was recorded somewhere around 1980. | The album was released in 1991, but the credits state that the recordings were made “during the late seventies and through the eighties”.

Dick Crouch is listed as the composer, although it very much sounds like an improvisation between Allan and Ray. The later part, where Allan does not appear, sounds more composed. | ||
Although this type of sound and playing became a trademark sound of Allan’s, his chordal work was rarely featured on albums before “I.O.U”. So this is probably one of the earliest recorded examples of Allan’s volume pedal playing, maybe even predating I.O.U. | Although this type of sound and playing became a trademark sound of Allan’s, his chordal work was rarely featured on albums before “I.O.U”.
