This erratic live album, featuring Tommy Bolin was released in South Africa in 1978 on Purple Records distributed by EMI. Catalogue number was TPSJ (L) 3514 (82C 062 60900 also appears on the cover). This album was also released in Japan, France, Spain and Germany. In 1990 it was released on CD in Japan only but is still unavailable elsewhere.

Recorded on the 15th December 1975 at the Budokan in Tokyo, this album's only redeeming features are the live versions of Wild Dogs and Soldier Of Fortune which are not officially available anywhere else. I wouldn't really recommended this album for the casual fan, rather try On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat, when Tommy was in much better form. The song order has been moved around for some obscure reason. See the actual set list below for comparison.

In September 2001 This Time Around - Live in Tokyo 1975 was released which featured the complete concert.
