Next album ="So Long Ago The Garden" is the title of an album recorded by
Larry Norman in 1973. It is the second album in what came to be known as his "trilogy," which began with the album "Only Visiting This Planet " and concluded with "In Another Land". "So Long Ago the Garden" was controversial because Norman's previously blatant Christian beliefs were more veiled on this album. In the song "Shot Down" from "In Another Land", Norman responded to accusations by fellow Christians that he had abandoned his faith in search of fame and fortune.A version of the song "Christmas Time" originally appeared on the rare album "Born Twice", by Norman's friend Randy Stonehill, which Norman had produced back in 1969. On that LP, the song is credited as having been written by Stonehill, but "So Long Ago the Garden" credits Norman as the writer.
