Sunday Night at the London Roundhouse was the first live album by the English progressive rock band Nektar. It was released on vinyl in 1974 by Bacillus Records, and re-released with partially different content on CD in 2002.
Original release
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 25 November 1973: "Desolation Valley" and "A Day in the Life of a Preacher". Side 2 was recorded at a live-in-studio jam on March 27, 1974, between the hours of 2:00 am and 5:00 am, at Chipping Norton Studios in Oxfordshire, England. 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.
