Stealin' Home is the ninth solo album by British singer/songwriter Ian Matthews. The album is the first of Matthews' four solo albums released by Rockburgh Records. Matthews produced the album with the label's founder, Sandy Roberton, who previously produced In Search of Amelia Earhart (1972) for Matthews' band Plainsong, and later served as a producer for Matthews' solo albums Siamese Friends (1979), Spot Of Interference (1983), and Shook (1984).
Originally released on vinyl by Rockburgh Records on 11 August 1978 (catalogue # ROC 106), and in the US and Canada by Mushroom Records in September of that year (MRS 5012), Stealin' Home has been released over 40 times on vinyl, cassette, 8-track cartridge and CD, more than any other album in Matthews’ 50 plus years as a recording artist.
Expanded versions of the album featuring a 9-song live performance recorded at Texas A&M University in November 1978 were released by Air Mail Archive in Japan in 2013 (AIRAC-1701) and US label Omnivore in 2014 (OVCD-98).
