The 1974 vinyl release included, on side 1, two songs recorded at a concert given by the band at the Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London on November 25, 1973: Desolation Valley and A Day in the Life of a Preacher. Side 2 was recorded at a live-in-studio jam. An expanded recording of the jam session was later released as a separate CD under the title Unidentified Flying Abstract- Live at Chipping Norton 1974.
