Home at Last is an album of mostly new material by Larry Norman first issued in 1989. It was originally released as a two-LP album and included some live tracks. It was reissued in 1998 as one album together with the 1994 compilation Footprints in the Sand. The 2007 re-release of Home at Last contained only the studio recordings of the original issue.[3] It was released to mixed reviews, some citing disorganization and uneven production,[4] and controversy.[2] A music video of live performances of the 14 studio songs on Home at Last garnered a favourable review.[5]
