The band was supported by the following guest musicians:
- Chester Thompson - drums
- Bill Bruford - drums at The Cinema Show
The album credits name somewhat ambiguously which drummers play on which track: "Robbery Assault & Battery - keyboard solo Phil" and "Cinema Show - Bill Bruford, Phil keyboard solo". What was meant by this: Phil Collins also played drums (and by no means keyboards) on Robbery's keyboard solo . At The Cinema Show he played the long final instrumental part in 7/8 time together with Bill Bruford.
Chester Thompson and Phil Collins also played parts of the following pieces together: Afterglow , Firth of Fifth , I know what I like , The Musical Box , Supper's Ready and Los Endos (including the introductory drum duet).
