In Search of Eddie Riff is an album by British musician Andy Mackay, first released on Island Records in 1974.
The album was released during a brief hiatus from Roxy Music's recording schedule. A first version came out in 1974, with nine tracks, the lead single being a jazz cover of "Ride of the Valkyries". Later the album was re-released with a different track listing; this is the version that was issued on all other vinyl and cassette reissues of the album. 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.
