Thanks to Kinebee - if it wasn't for your upload and willingness to share some great music, I wouldn't have been motivated to dig up my copy.
I have the Rock Around the World LP, one side of which is this Brand X performance. I transferred it to DAT about 14 years ago, and was able to find my copy, which was a daunting task in itself. The record sounded very good, with a few ticks and some surface noise - which I removed with Soundforge 9.0, although I think I erred on the side of not overdoing it. The clicks are gone, but very slight surface noise remains. Check the sample. The is one of the best documents of early live Brand X, apart from Livestock, and Missing Period. :-)
This show is sometimes mistakingly given the date of December 1976, but that's probably when the show first aired. A good Brand X gigography by Dimer Scottstradez can be found here: http://members.cox.net/scottstrades/BrandX_Performances.html

Apparently on this stint of shows at Ronnie Scott's, Brand X was opening for Charles McPherson.
