In 2006, the whole set from the band's performance was issued under the title Empire Pool Wembley 1973, although claimed to be from a different recording source, this also suffers from poor sound quality.

The title is a reference to the 1974 Sam Peckinpah film Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, as well as Yuri Gagarin, the first human to journey into outer space.
