A taster for the forthcoming live album is now up on Bandcamp. It's showing an August release. For reasons unknown, I was not able to embed this.

I assume The Concerts in Japan will be something like a compilation live-album. I've just checked the Midnight Madness-version from Kikimimi-Live In Japan (also 6:46) and I think this is from the same concert. But the new version on Bandcamp sounds a lot better (mix, vocals, production) so there might have been some "reparations" here and there. The Moog after 4:35 isn't on the Kikimimi-CD for instance.

Hoping a US shop decides to stock this.

Thanks for posting this, I recalled coming across this while browsing YouTube one day.
Scroll down in the comments section and you'll see Robert Webb commented on the show.

The German store appears to be the only place to get a physical copy.

I listened to the original version a number of years back, and this one sounds like it's the same performance but with certain parts "fixed," which is nothing new in the annals of so-called "live" albums, actually. That said, I have no doubt that it will be a very enjoyable listening experience.
I hate the idea of post-show doctoring of live gigs, so much so that I may pass on this. (And yes, I have a ton of doctored live albums by other bands.)
Please be aware that the guy behind numusi.de is the king of Prog lable pirates. He is behind Paisley Press, Second Harvest and a whole number
of further pirate labels (mostly Prog related).
I received this message from the England Bandcamp:
Yippee! The double CD digipak of 'The Concerts in Japan' is now available on NuMusi.de.
Bernd Brunn, the shop & website owner has just informed me that it's advertised under 'new releases'. You should be able to buy it here (please let me know of any problems): numusi.de/collections/new-releases-2/products/england-the-concerts-in-japan
With love and best wishes, R
PS My copies haven't arrived yet...
That doesn’t mean that there isn’t some gray area here, but I guess the band is involved (?).

Indeed, the band (Robert Webb) is involved. I received the double-CD yesterday and it sounds so much better (and longer!) than the original CD.
The artwork is by Ed Unitsky, known for his work for a.o. The Samurai Of Prog.
Robert Webb wrote the lenghly liner-notes in which he explains the story behind the recording and this re-master/re-mix on which the tracks are placed in the played order.
Has anyone bought a download from Bandcamp? I'm wondering if it comes with the booklet in pdf or something? I listened to it a couple of weeks ago and it's a GREAT listen! Very enjoyable.
Arrived today from Germany (and, yes, shipping was stupid high, but I have no idea if an American distributor was going to pick it up).
Thus far: Sound quality is good; packaging is good; performance is good.
I'm happy with my purchase and look forward to digging in. (Picked up Last of the Jubblies, too.)
With all that said, however, I am surprised that this isn't on a label like Esoteric. Seems like a natural fit for both parties.

^I did! I’ll probably download the bonuses I don’t have from their Bandcamp.
