                Notes

♫                    This album is part one of "The Trilogy," recorded in England (Air Studios, London). Some titles can be found on previous LPs but these are all new recordings. The Verve release came in a tri-fold cover first, then in a gatefold cover. The labels of the stock copies are black, blue or white. The white label versions also show the MGM logo.

♫                    There are US LP re-issues on both Street Level and Phydeaux. The Street Level album was issued as a gatefold pre-release version (with a four side insert & a printed inner sleeve) and as a normal version with a regular cover and silver labels plus a lyrics insert (some were released through Gospel Media). There are two versions of four side insert, one is printed on normal paper, the other on "newspaper paper." There are also differences in the contents as the song listings given for the Trilogy box are not the same (!). See also the last note of both "So Long Ago The Garden" and "In Another Land."

♫                    There's no difference between the Phydeaux version and the Verve version of "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" although there's mention of it on the inner sleeve of the gatefold pre-release Street Level version.

♫                    The UK MGM & Myrrh releases have regular covers with inserts and feature the original album with "Oh, How I Love You" which is not on the Street Level LP and the Phydeaux LP. On the Phydeaux cassette however, this song does appear! It's also on the CD releases. "Oh, How I Love You" is not listed on any "Only Visiting This Planet" release (but it's listed on "Home At Last"

♫                    All Australian releases, except for the DTS release, feature the original album with "Oh, I Love You" (not on DTS). Focus, Rhema & DTS released the album with a gatefold cover. The Focus & Rhema releases came with two different labels (Focus: yellow and multicolor, Rhema: tan and apricot). The Verve pressing also came with a gatefold cover (black labels).

♫                    The Street Level & Phydeaux releases have a slightly different song order with some title adaptations (most striking: "Righteous Rocker #1" instead of "Without Love You Are Nothing)." The 8 track tape has a more than slightly different song order.

♫                    The extra CD track "PeacePollutionRevolution" can also be found on the Phydeaux reissue LP "So Long Ago The Garden" (on the CD it's some 15 seconds longer!) and it's also on MGM single 14351 (1971 is probably the year the song was recorded).

♫                    The extra CD track "Digest" was probably recorded in the 80's. "The Outlaw" is also from a later date. "Righteous Rocker" is very similar to the version on "Larry Norman" on "Down Under (But Not Out)" (US mispress? cassette and Swedish LP), and on "The Best Of Larry Norman"; on this CD it fades into "Forget Your Hexagram" at the end.

♫                    MGM single 14351 features what might be called "Righteous Rocker #2." It's almost, but not completely  (!), the same as "Righteous Rocker #2" on the self-titled Australian album ("Larry Norman)." Now there's one odd thing and that is that the MGM single version was recorded in 1971 (MGM showed the year of recording in the master numbers, in this case: 71-L-3022)...

♫                    The 1998/99 cassette features the CD version.

♫                    The CD has been re-released several times, in 1999 (it says "1997" on the back but it was probably released in June 1999), in 2000 and again in 2001. The releases from 1999 and 2000 have the same (new) artwork. The artwork of the 2001 version has been changed again; the same happened with the 2003 versions, all of them are CD-Rs. According to the November 2003 newsletter, the second 2003 version has been re-balanced, re-equalized, and re-mastered.

♫                    There's a tape release on GMI from the Netherlands called "Eigen wijs 2" that promotes gospel LPs released in 1983/84. Amongst these, Larry Norman's Phydeaux re-release of "Only Visiting This Planet" gets promoted.

♫                    This album was number five in a series of fourteen albums, mentioned on the inner sleeve of "Something New Under The Son" (albums number nine through fourteen have not been released, see part II).

♫                    A 3 LP boxed set containing albums #6, #7 & #8 and being titled "The Compleat Trilogy" (as mentioned on the insert of the Street Level reissue of "Only Visiting This Planet") has never been released. This boxed set should feature the trilogy as Larry Norman originally intended. The LP "Only Visiting This Planet" in this set should feature the complete version of "I Wish We'd All Been Ready."
