Notes:

Andrew "Andy" Mackay (born 23 July 1946) is an English multi-instrumentalist, best known as a founder member (playing oboe and saxophone) of the art-rock group Roxy Music.

In Search of Eddie Riff is an album by British musician Andy Mackay, released on EG Records in 1974. The album was released during a brief hiatus from Roxy Music's recording schedule.

Mackay later claimed that he intended for the album to showcase his different musical interests: "classical music, Motown, fifties rock and roll instrumentals, film music, electronic effects and partly for my wife Jane, who I had recently married, country and western". The leadoff single was a jazz cover of "Ride of the Valkyries".
