In Another Land – Larry Norman (1976)
In Another Land is the title of an album recorded by Larry Norman and released in 1976. It is the third album in Norman’s “trilogy,” which began with Only Visiting This Planet and continued with So Long Ago the Garden. The album contains some of Norman’s most well-known work. 
Released: 1976
Length: 50:58
Label: Solid Rock Records
Producer: Larry Norman
A different version of the song “I Love You” was first recorded by Randy Stonehill on the now-rare album Born Twice, which was produced by Larry Norman back in 1969. That album credits Stonehill as the writer of the song. Norman’s version completely changes all the verses, retaining only the first line of the first verse of Stonehill’s original composition.
“Righteous Rocker #3″ is a reprise of a song which originally appeared on Only Visiting This Planet.
The album also contains a souped-up version of “Why Don’t You Look Into Jesus,” another song which made its first appearance on Only Visiting This Planet. In the later version the controversial second verse from the original (“Gonorrhea on Valentine’s Day / You’re still looking for the perfect lay,” etc.) is conspicuously absent.
“I Am A Servant” was recorded and popularized as a Christian pop ballad by Christian singer Honeytree.
On the liner notes to the LP “Dudley Moore” is credited as a piano player, while on the CD re-issue he is listed as guest pianist on the song “The Son Began To Rain”.
“Song For A Small Circle Of Friends” was a piece written for Norman’s famous friends in the music industry. The song includes allusions to Randy Stonehill, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones, and Paul McCartney.
