- "Snap, Crackle And How's Your Dad", "San Francisco", "Last Train To Clarksville" and "A Better Man Than I" from the 1967 album "From Hank, Bruce, Brian And John". The last three have not been documented as featuring Alan, but very most likely feature him, because those tracks are from the same recording sessions.
- "Slaughter On Tenth Avenue", released as a single in 1969.
- The entire 1969 Japanese album "'Live' In Japan".
- The entire 1970 album "Shades Of Rock".
- "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "You're The One That I Want" from the 1979 album "String Of Hits".
- "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" from the 1983 double compilation album "The Shadows Silver Album" and the 1983 album "XXV" and later also on the 1986 album "Moonlight Shadows".
