According to Rick Lopez's sessionography, the Rivers-Waldron duo played another week in Italy and France. The program on other occasions also consisted mainly of standards, except for some long pieces listed in the sessionography as "Improvisation" with Sam Rivers on flute or soprano. Perhaps the most interesting pieces were left out of Caligola. The following week, Rivers played in London with Abdullah Ibrahim, replacing Max Roach; an audio file of this also exists. It's a shame that neither Waldron nor the South African pianist considered a studio recording.

It's more of a testimony or curiosity within the discography of the two artists. I believe it was an impromptu meeting organized at the last minute.

There is a bootleg cd with more tracks and the Lp was reissued on cd in Japan two times https://www.discogs.com/release/12075646-Art-Farmer-Jackie-McLean-Quintet-Complete-Live-In-Tokyo-1977?srsltid=AfmBOooogUlrwggEIHpViNu0fQdzEqm0CBKsUjCbpVE_hb1t6OYVxldw

Caligola Records is a legitimate label; this is not a pirated release. I agree that the two artists found a safe meeting point by choosing standards rather than original compositions, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the duo was formed at the last minute. This is, however, the only collaboration between the two on record, and therefore an important historical testimony. A physical CD or vinyl edition would be desirable.
