A double live album, relflecting on the band's first 5 albums, with very good sound and playing. It has become a favourite among many fans for featuring many good songs as well as the whole of The Snow Goose, nicely performed with
an orchestra. The early Ferguson-era
songs were given an interesting touch by bass work and singing from Richard Sinclair.
Note: A remastered edition of A Live Record has been released in 2002 by Deram/Universal. This edition contains additional 40 minutes in 7 bonus tracks, as well as an alternative mix of The Snow Goose performance.

 | Ligging at Louis' is a cute boogie track, dated from 1974. |
| A Live Record was received with mixed reactions from the press, and according to Latimer, most of them were not entirely unjustified. He claims "it was meant to be a life history rather than a great sounding live record". |
| The London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Bedford, played on The Snow Goose performance. |
 | Deram CD version includes notes by John Tracy. |
