Every article I read which refers to HD has a different reason why it was delayed for three years.

I thought I'd put a thread here to collect references to this period of history as an excercise in... something. Futility? Historical research? Excessive fan interest?

Here's the first.

The delay had to do with Larry Norman. Daniel Amos were on Solid Rock , Norman's record label. From what I've read Norman was having trouble getting distribution for his label. Also he had several different projects going at once with Randy Stonehill and Mark Heard and Tom Howard and Daniel Amos all having recorded albums at pretty much the same time. I think Larry just bit off a little too much there, especially since he had so much trouble trying to even get his own stuff distributed and have it not be banned in the Christian bookstores.
It was more like two years though because it was supposed to be released in '78 with Randy Stonehill's The Sky Is Falling. When DA and Stonehill went on tour(The Amos and Randy tour) the country DA fans were left confused because they hadn't heard HD yet and they were expecting to hear Happily Married Man and stuff like that. So it wasn't only DA's album but Randy's and God knows who else's record that was delayed. I know DA and Randy's album came out in '80. But I tell you what. For those two albums it was well worth the wait.
I think Larry tried to do something he's no good at. Running a record label.

I think it's funny how Larry goes on and on about Terry's weird ideas for the HD cover, and then makes a record where he is nude on the cover! Roll Eyes

It was nearly three years actually.. Sessions for HD
started in March of 78. It was most likely completed by
sometime that summer since the finished album was
heard by people in August of 78.

It was, as the article says, released in April of 81... weeks
before the release of Alarma!.

So Long Ago The Garden is my favorite Larry Norman album. I t was done in 1973, years before DA recorded HD.
He just sort of became the thing he didn't like about the business I guess.
Where did you read about him going on about the wierd ideas?
I just bought that album again on vinyl a month or two ago.

his latest version (#6 or 7 for this album) released in 2003 is not so revealing

Yes it is, it has slightly different shade of green lettering
on the disc as well. Shocked

I like Larry's music, but basically quit buying his reissues. There
is just too many. I buy his CDs if they are something I
never had before, thats still quite a few.
