Golden Earring - Golden Earring

Facts Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Includes three bonus tracks. Founded in 1961 by George Kooymans and Rinus Gerritsen, Dutch rock band Golden Earring (or Golden Earring's, until 1969) started off as a beat band, experimented as a psychedelic quartet and finally became a heavy rock group. Golden Earring is the sixth, self-titled album that is also known as 'Wall Of Dolls' because of the cover photo. The record, released in September 1970, marks the debut of drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk with Golden Earring and is the first in a series of progressively oriented records that the group released in the 1970s. This expanded edition contains three bonus tracks: the single Holy Holy Life (#5 in the Dutch Top 40 in February 1971) with B-side Jessica, as well as the single version of Back Home as released in the United States on Dwarf Records in October 1970. All tracks have been remastered in 24 bit/192 kHz from the original master tapes. The 16-page booklet contains a story about the creation of the album, written by Golden Earring biographer and archivist Jeroen Ras.
