== Duo albums and Allan as a co-leader. ==
These albums fall into two categories. Allan released two duo albums with Gordon Beck. Two live albums have also been released with Allan as a featured artist, credited to Holdsworth, Pasqua, Haslip and Wackerman, that are as close to solo albums as you get. The group members all have been members of Allan's solo band, and the repertoire has also been played live with Allan's solo groups to a large extent.
