Founded in 1961 by George Kooymans and Rinus Gerritsen, the Dutch rock band Golden Earring (Golden Earrings until 1969) started as a beat band, experimented as a psychedelic quartet and eventually became a heavy rock band. Their ninth album, "Moontan" (1973), hit the international charts and is the group's most successful album in the United States and the only Golden Earring album to be certified gold by the RIAA. The single "Radar Love" reached No. 10 on the Cash Box Top 100 and No. 13 on the Billboard chart in the United States. It also reached the Top 10 in many countries - including the Netherlands (#1), Spain (#1), Germany (#5), the United Kingdom (#7), Canada (#10) and Australia (#10) - and became a true international rock classic. In June 2020, the original master tapes of this classic album were unearthed to create the long-awaited remastered edition - 48 years after the original release. Alongside the fresh remaster from the first generation IBC Studios release, six bonus tracks have been added, including a reworking of 1973's "Big Tree, Blue Sea" which was added to the UK and US editions of the original album, the original single versions of "Radar Love" and "Candy's Going Bad", the B-side "The Song Is Over" and the 1974 single "Instant Poetry". In addition, the second CD, titled "The Moontan Sessions," contains nine previously unreleased mixes/various versions that provide a glimpse into the entire album production process. The recordings come from various archival tapes. Included are the original recordings of "Radar Love", "The Song Is Over", "Are You Receiving Me" and "Vanilla Queen", which were recorded in early 1973 at Phonogram studios in Hilversum, the Netherlands, and then completed in July 1973 at IBC studios in London. All tracks were remastered from the original master tapes at 24 bit / 192 kHz resolution. A special 2LP edition of "Moontan (remastered & expanded)" will follow on Music On Vinyl in early 2022. This 2CD edition of "Moontan" kicks off a special series of remastered and expanded Golden Earring albums, overseen by the Red Bullet catalogue and the band's archivist Wouter Bessels.
