On June 25, 2002, the album was released for the first time on compact disc.[4] BackgroundReddy had announced in the summer of 1977 that Kim Fowley, producer of her recent album release Ear Candy, would produce an upcoming live album for the singer:[5] it was anticipated that the album would be a recording of Reddy's 8 November 1977 concert at Radio City Music Hall.[6] However, Reddy herself—collaborating with John Palladino—would produce her live album, which was recorded at her three-night gig at the London Palladium in May 1978. Single releaseThe live recordings of "Mama" and "The West Wind Circus" became the respective A-side and B-side of a single from the album but had no showings on Billboard's pop[7] or Easy Listening[8] charts. Reddy commented on both songs in the liner notes of her singles compilation The Definitive Collection. Of the former she wrote, "Another great composition from Harriet Schock and one I sang every Mother's Day,"[9] and of the latter, "Although I was never in a circus, I have known families who were... Around the time I first heard this emotional work by Adam Miller, there was news of an aerialist in a well-known circus family falling to his death. This was a song I simply had to sing."[9] ReceptionAllMusic's Joe Viglione wrote retrospectively: "Producers John Palladino and Helen Reddy do a commendable job of capturing so many instruments and vocals and putting them into a wonderful mix. The album gets high marks for sound quality and performance... For the fans of Helen Reddy this is a treat and a very necessary part of her collection."[1] In Billboard's review of the 2002 release of the album on compact disc, Mitchell Paoletta asks, "Ready for the flashback of a lifetime? If so, give a listen to Live in London, which has lost none of its sheen" and stresses that Reddy's "classy renderings of Billy Joel's 'The Entertainer' and Leon Russell's 'This Masquerade' should not be overlooked."[2]Track listingSide 1
