Fairport Convention, Live at the L.A. Troubadour, LP UK Island Records (January 1977) - HELP 28

Fairport's first American tour becomes an album with a flashy cover (there's no doubt that it's a live album!). Later the same musical pieces were reused and integrated for a new vinyl in 1986, with a different cover and a long introduction by Joe Boyd.
