Get Me Out of Hollywood

Randy follows Larry Norman to London to work with George Martin’s proteges the Triumvirate. They are the ones who had produced Larry’s breakout album “Only Visiting this Planet” the year before and would work with him to produce “So Long Ago the Garden”. Here Randy meets Paul McCartney, who was recording in an adjacent studio.

Not released until 1999, the album was recorded aiming for commercial success in the UK, which might then stimulate the interest of major record labels in the US. When that didn’t materialize, Larry purchased the masters from Phonogram and released the record through Solid Rock. Although arranged very differently, it did contain two of what would become Stonehill favorites on subsequent albums, “Puppet Strings” and “Jamie’s Got the Blues”.
