Notes: The Absolute team of Watkins and Wilson first rose to fame having worked on half of the Spice Girls' debut album, Spice. They returned for the girls' second album, which also seems to mark the first time they employed Milton McDonald on guitar. McDonald has gone on to work on numerous Absolute projects.
