In Search of Eddie Riff is an album by British musician Andy Mackay, first released on Island Records in 1974.
Three songs were added to the new version - the B-side "Time Regained" (edited), the 1975 single "Wild Weekend", and the new cover "The Long and Winding Road" - and two songs were removed, "Summer Sun" and "Four Legged Friend".
A CD version released in 1999 contains all the songs (although the "Time Regained" B-side was not restored to its full five-minute length) with the addition of three live rehearsal tracks.
"[3] Reviews were mixed, and the Trouser Press Record Guide has described it as "merely a display of his technical abilities.
"[2] AllMusic, however, calls it "highly listenable" and "fun stuff from the artsy realm of serious U.K. musicians" which overall is "good background party music" with some moments of transcendent simplicity.
