- Equator (1983)
Equator is the sixth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill , released on January 21, 1983 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Terry Scott Taylor. According to Stonehill he wrote on the album sleeve insert, "Just as the equator marks the center of the planet, so is Christ the 'Equator' of humanity...He divides good and evil and can turn darkness into light by the power of His love." The ballad track "Turning Thirty" became a Christian radio hit and also reflective of his family life, including his second wife Sandi and their only daughter Heather. Even though it was not released as a Christian radio single, " Shut De Dó" was a Stonehill signature song and a concert favorite. Many Christian radio stations have played the track with its Jamaican flare percussion and its sing-a-long chorus. In 2006, CCM Magazine named " Shut De Dó" as one of the 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music , listing it at number 49. New Myrrh Records label mate Leslie Phillips is also on the album as one of the backing vocalists on the album's final track "World Without Pain." Equator climbed up to number 7 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart. The album is not available on CD, however it is available digitally for streaming and download purchasing.

- The Sky is Falling (1980)
The Sky is Falling is the fourth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill . It was released in 1980 on Solid Rock Records. Larry Norman produced and arranged the album. The album was recorded in 1977, just a year after the release of his critically- acclaimed album Welcome to Paradise , when Stonehill wanted to record a follow-up album but was delayed by a full three years. Norman was heavily involved in the making of The Sky is Falling , from producing to playing guitars. During that time Stonehill and Norman had a falling out and decided to part ways professionally, so this will serve as the final album under Norman's tutelage. Stonehill makes his debut on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart with this release and peaking at number 21. The album's highlights include a re-recording of "Jamey's Blues" as "Jamey's Got the Blues" (originally recorded for his 1973 album Get Me Out of Hollywood ), "The Great American Cure," "Venezuela" and "Counterfeit King." In 1994, The Sky is Falling was reissued on CD featuring the European version with a different track listing than the American version. It contains alternate mixes of "Teen King" and "Counterfeit King" and three bonus tracks. A YouTube link to listen to the albums is posted below this article.

- Get Me Out of Hollywood (1973)
Get Me Out of Hollywood is the second studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill . It was released in 1973 on Phillips Records. The album was produced by Jon Miller, Rod Edwards and Roger Hand with album photos taken by Larry Norman. Get Me Out of Hollywood is a rare lost album, due to the fact that it was unreleased for more than 25 years. Stonehill recorded the album in London. It was an attempt to release it as a mainstream album. About ten pressings are rumored to exist. Norman got the rights to the album and reissued it on CD in 1999 on his Solid Rock label with the bonus track "Blind Minstrel." Two songs would later turn up on other Stonehill albums: "Puppet Strings" on Welcome to Paradise and "Jamey's Got the Blues" on The Sky is Falling , originally titled on this album as "Jamey's Blues."

- Born Twice (1971)
Born Twice is the debut album by Christian singer - songwriter Randy Stonehill . It was released in 1971 on One Way Records. The album was produced and arranged by Larry Norman. Norman also did the photography. Born Twice cost, at the time, $800 to make and record. Stonehill said of the album that it sounded "like every penny of it." It was backed and financed by American entertainer Pat Boone. Fewer than ten thousand copies were pressed, making it a prized collector's item. The album consists of half a dozen acoustic songs, including an early version of "I Love You" (Stonehill re-recorded two new versions of this track for the 1973 Christian film Time to Run ). The song "Norman's Kitchen" is about Stonehill's conversion after his arrest on drug charges. Norman and Stonehill were washing dishes and Stonehill got a wake-up call after his experience. Norman prayed for Stonehill and he was born again, hence the name of the album. Also included is "I Need You" from the Christian musical Show Me! , from which Stonehill was in the lead role. Born Twice also has live tracks with the band White Light. Stonehill also performs a couple of covers including the Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hit "Put Your Hand in the Hand" (originally recorded by the Canadian band Ocean) and "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands." The Side Two track "He Is a Friend of Mine" was replaced by the Norman-written holiday track "Christmastime" in later pressings of the album. The 1991 re-pressing of Born Twice came with an extra vinyl of a live album titled Judgment Day at the Speede Mart . It is an otherwise unreleased album consisting entirely of live performances culled from several early 1970's concerts of Stonehill singing mostly Larry Norman songs. It was issued in a normal single slip cover from the "Christmastime" version of Born Twice . A YouTube link to listen to the albums is posted below this article.

- On This Christmas Night (1979)
On This Christmas Night is a compilation Christmas album that was released in the fall of 1979. It was originally on MCA Records' Songbird label. Musician Chris Christian , who at the time was director of A&R for MCA Songbird, was involved with the production and songwriting, and it featured all original holiday songs. Artists participating on this project are Amy Grant , David Meece , Tennessee Ernie Ford, Dan Peek, Reba Rambo, The Boones, B.W. Stevenson and B.J. Thomas. Thomas performs on two tracks, "God Bless the Children" and the title track. Grant recorded her first Christmas song "Santa's Reindeer Ride," which would pave the way for future holiday albums that Grant would release throughout the years. The history of On This Christmas Night 's reissues is a bit complex because of the extra tracks that were either added, swapped or dropped: *- in the original 1979 release, it also included Christian comedian Mike Warnke with the album's final track of his spoken word "A Christmas Song." *-the album was reissued in 1986 on Home Sweet Home Records, in which Christian owned the album rights. The original tracks by Rambo, Peek and Warnke were replaced by Christian with Charlene Duncan, known professionally as Charlene with "Christmas All Year 'Round," Steve Archer with "White Christmas" and "Gloria" by White Heart . "Christmas All Year 'Round" was originally recorded in 1983 and first appeared in the various artists holiday album Contemporary Christmas Classics , while White Heart's "Gloria" previously appeared in the 1985 various artists Home Sweet Home Records sampler LP A Home Sweet Home Christmas . *-it was reissued again in 1992 on CD by Liberty Records under the name On a Christmas Night , but with one song update: Christian swapped tracks with "Thinking of You This Christmas" (from his 1988 Christmas album of the same name ) replacing "Christmas All Year 'Round" that was on the 1986 reissue. *-it was reissued for a fourth time in 1996 by LaserLight Digital with the same track listing as the 1992 reissue but with one song update: the White Heart track "Gloria" that was on the 1986 reissue was replaced by "Silent Night" by recording artist and former member of the R&B-pop group The Fifth Dimension Marilyn McCoo. Then in 2006, the album was reissued under its original name and was distributed by Universal Music as part of the 20th Century Masters: The Christmas Collection CD series. The first nine tracks are from the original 1979 release with Rambo and Peek included, but for reasons unknown, Warnke's track is not included. The other three bonus tracks are from Christian, Archer and White Heart. For Christian, it is the third time that a track is swapped with "Christmas With Children" replacing "Thinking of You This Christmas" that was on the 1992 reissue. A television special of the same name aired in syndication the same year as the original 1979 album was released featuring the same recording artists who took part on the original audio recording, except for Debby Boone who at the time left The Boones for a solo recording career and Warnke, as they gather at a mountain lodge in Colorado to make music together and learn the true meaning of Christmas. You can listen to the original LP of On This Christmas Night with Mike Warnke's spoken word reading of "A Christmas Song" on the YouTube link posted below. Track listing on the 2006 reissue 1.
