IAN GIBBONS sessions

This is the list of the sessions I know Ian Ellis appears... I've classified them into several categories:
SESSIONS WITH FORMER/CURRENT BANDMATES

Dr. Feelgood A magnificent band! A pity their singer Lee Brilleaux died. He should be eternal! :)

Ian Gibbons guests on Brilleaux, an album produced by Will Birch, drummer in The Records (see below for more relationship). For that album, the band lineup was:

Also guesting, an ex-member, The Big Figure on backing vocals.

Chess masters features great guests: Dave Bronze (bass, producer), Ian Gibbons (keyboards), Rick Wakeman (keyboards), Roger Cotton (keyboards), Frank Mead (harmonica, sax), Nick Payne (harmonica, sax).

Dave Davies Dave Davies has always been the guitarist in The Kinks. Even though he might be shadowed by his brother Ray Davies, it's clear that most of the Kinks sound is due to him. This 2CD compilation includes some tracks recorded with The Kinks, plus solo material. And the good thing is that many of the tracks were unreleased. The musicians appearing here are Kinks members: Ray Davies (vocals, guitar), John Dalton (bass), Mick Avory (drums), Andy Pyle (bass), Jim Rodford (bass), Ian Gibbons (keyboards), as well as some others who appeared playing sessions for The Kinks: Nick Trevisik (drums) or Bobby Graham (drums), for example. 31 delicious tracks.
Sabre Jet This is really a Darrell Bath solo album. Darrell and Ian have been playing together in Ian Hunter Band since 1997. Produced by Kris Gray and Andy Scott (from The Sweet fame), it features Ian Gibbons (keyboards) among others. 
OTHER SESSIONS

Records They were an English group formed in 1977, with: John Wicks (vocals, guitar), Will Birch (drums, ex-Kursaal Flyers), Phil Brown (bass) and Huw Gower (guitar, vocals).

Shades in bed is their 1st album. Recorded with help from Ian Gibbons (keyboards).

Crashes is their 2nd album. During the recording, their guitarist Huw Gower left them, and Will Birch called Clem Clempson to play on it. It also features guest appearances by Ian Gibbons (keyboards), Chris Gent (sax), Chris Stein (keyboards, from Blondie)

Smashes, crashes, and near misses is a compilation. It features Clem Clempson (guitar), Paul Carrack (keyboards), Ian Gibbons (keyboards), Chris Gent (sax), Bobby Irwin (drums). 

Chris Farlowe Superb singer, a favourite of mine. This album was recorded with Phil Palmer (guitar), Robert Ahwai (guitar), Mo Witham (guitar), Dave Bronze (bass), Ian Gibbons (keyboards), Pete Wingfield (keyboards), Bias Boshell (keyboards), Pete Thomas (sax), Bud Beadle (sax), The Big Figure (drums), Charlie Morgan (drums), Mike Vernon (percussion, also producing).
The Coal Porters This is the band formed by former leader in Long Ryders, Sid Griffin. This album, that wears a very funny title, is enriched by contributions by Billy Bremmer (guitar), Pat McGarvey (bass), Ian Gibbons (keyboards), Kevin Morris (drums), Kate St. John (oboe).
