[[File:Regeburrell.jpeg|right|200px]]"Victim Of Emotion" is a 1985 album by soul singer Rege Burrell. The credits list Allan on rhythm guitar on the track "Stuttering", but he is inaudible in the mix. It's hard to tell if his part is present at all. It surely is a strange item in Allan's discography. However, it does have an interesting history, which is detailed in this copy of an Allan Holdsworth Archives post on Facebook. | |||

In some cases, Allan’s appearances are so obscure that they fly under the radar of even diehard collectors. One such case is his appearance on the Rege Burrell song “Stuttering”, from the album “Victim Of Emotion”, released in 1985. | In some cases, Allan’s appearances are so obscure that they fly under the radar of even diehard collectors.

I probably first became aware of this recording on some forum a couple years ago. The only place where there is information on this online, is at the discogs website.

Through online connections, I was able to get a copy of the track in question. Allan’s playing is usually highly recognizable – this is, after all, one quality which appeals to his fans. And usually, when a producer called Allan for a session, it was because they wanted that special sound. This does not seem to be the case when hearing “Stuttering”. The song is typical 80’s synth pop/soul, which gives me a “Miami Vice” vibe. It’s hard to pick out anything that could be Allan’s guitar, let alone ANY guitar. So maybe this was just a fake credit? | Through online connections, I was able to get a copy of the track in question.
