Allan Holdsworth Discography: Vinyl, Compact Disc and Digital

This is a first draft for an Allan Holdsworth discography. There are many ways of doing a discography. For this version, the following applies: The listing includes music released legally* on vinyl, compact disc and digitally. There are mainly albums on the list. The albums are listed chronologically on the year of original release, with the original artist name and title as it appears on the record. This means that ”Belladonna”, for example, is listed as an Ian Carr release, and not Nucleus. The list does not contain albums with re-releases and compilations of previously released material, except where the new releases also contain previously unreleased music. That means that the Tempest anthology “Under The Blossom” is listed, as it contains previously unreleased recordings from the BBC. The chronology is sometimes dubious, but is intended to show the records in the order they were released. Allan is listed according to the instrument he plays, and whether he contributed as a composer. In the cases where he appears on a limited number of tracks, this is listed, usually in the cases where he only plays one or two tracks.

• Where the legality of the release has been contested by Allan, this is marked with an asterisk. This is subject matter for a treatise of its own.

I welcome corrections and additions to this list. In some cases, albums have been released with bonus tracks, and not listed again. There are several live recordings of UK around, with varying degrees of legality. They will be included once this is sorted out. Compilations should go on a separate list. Bootlegs should not go on this list. Films and books should go on a separate list. Allan in the capacity of producer, engineer or other tasks should go on a separate list.
