"Live at the Roundhouse 1975" is a 1982 album of a 1975 concert by the UK underground group Pink Fairies.

A one-off reunion concert featuring all five previous members of the group was organised by Ted Carroll, head of Chiswick Records. At the time of this gig, Rudolph was also playing bass for Hawkwind whilst Wallis was playing guitar for Motörhead. The tapes were licensed from Douglas Smith for release in 1982, although only part of the concert was issued, the rest being deemed unsuitable for public consumption.

It was pressed on pink vinyl with a cover by long standing collaborator Edward Barker featuring a pig which had become the band's ident. The track "Going Down" is a cover of the Freddie King song, but was erroneously credited to Lou Reed on the original release.

When this album was released on CD, several bonus tracks were added. On the CD release, the first five tracks are from the live performance at the Roundhouse. The following six are a collection of previously unreleased tracks, recorded by The Pink Fairies. After this follows a further three tracks, credited to be created by "Twink & The Fairies".
