[[File:Retouch.jpeg|right|200px]]"Retouch" is a 1977 album that is credited to Holdsworth, Young, Guy, Mathewson and Stevens, although Stevens is the de facto leader here, as the album was put out by him. Allan considered this release a bootleg, and claimed never to heave received any royalties from it. This album was recorded in the same sessions as “Touching On”. “No Fear” is not totally improvised, as there is a distinct, although short theme, but for the most part, it covers the same territory as “Touching On”.

"So I’m as disgusted with John '''Stevens''' as I am with a lot of the record companies, who are doing the same thing to a lot of the people who pass on, like Jaco Pastorious. I think it’s completely degrading what they’ll do to people after they’ve gone. I think if the musician wanted them to be part of his thing they would have already been out."
