An informational update - The Holdsworth album is actually not a sanctioned album. The record company (CTI) took his rehearsal tapes without Allan's permission and made this album from those tapes. That would certainly account for the lesser quality compared to more standard recordings, as well as the choppiness of the tracks.
In fact, I believe that Allan has not received anything for having done that album, even with several different pressings and re-releases.
So it just goes to show ya, protect yourself. Read what you sign....
