This Time Around: Live in Tokyo is a live album from the Mark IV edition of Deep Purple. After the band's demise in 1976, a live album called Last Concert in Japan was released in 1977. It was compiled from shows the band did in Tokyo in December 1975. It was heavily edited, and, coming on the heels of their previous Japanese-recorded album Made in Japan, it failed to deliver, and was never released in the US. In 2001 the complete show was released as This Time Around.

TRIVIA
Although the audience was unaware of it at the time of the show, new member Tommy Bolin had a severe drug addiction, that ultimately would prove to be fatal less than a year later. Bolin is said to have come up to the stage for this show under the effects a recently injected heroin dose, and therefore lacking any kind of sensibility on his left arm. This could easily explain what many fans consider to be some of his weakest playing ever, but the opinion of fans about this recording remains divided to this day: some see it as a low poin for the band in general (and Bolin specifically), some others see it as a testament to the other member's talent and ability to rise up to the occasion, specially founding members Jon Lord and Ian Paice, turning in some great individual performances.
