During a European tour in support of Baroness' fifth studio album Gold & Grey[4] (which had released several months earlier), the band performed songs from the record live in Maida Vale Studios[5] for BBC Radio 1's Rock Show with Daniel P.

II was released through Baroness' Abraxan Hymns label as part of a Record Store Day Black Friday event.

[7] Like the original Liva at Maida Vale release, the A-side of the record contains all of the music while the B-side includes an etching of John Baizley's cover artwork.

[8][9] In a review for the German online music magazine HeavyPop, Oliver Gutbrunner praised the production of Live at Maida Vale – Vol.

He gave the EP a 6/10 rating, saying "If you absolve the band of their sludge heritage and classify it as consumer-friendly alternative/stoner rock, the performance has bite, even if the melodies and hooks remain interchangeable.
