Notes:

Though first emerging as a staple of the British progressive rock community of the 1970s, Bob Sargeant enjoyed his greatest success a decade later as one of the most notable producers of the new wave era. He first surfaced as a keyboardist with Mick Abrahams' backing band, on Abrahams' 1971 self-titled solo debut.

Freelance work with Andy Roberts, Junco Partners and Patrick Campbell-Lyons followed, and in 1975 Sargeant issued his lone solo album, First Starring Role.
