180-gram 2LP expanded edition

Gatefold jacket and 8-page booklet with an essay, memorabilia and photos

Remastered from the first generation master tapes

Featuring three previously unreleased mixes and four bonus tracks!

Originally released in 1973, Moontan is the album that gained Golden Earring an enormous amount of international popularity, primarily on the strength of the hit single and enduring radio favorite 'Radar Love'.

To this day, their ninth album Moontan is their most successful album internationally — being the only Golden Earring album to be certified gold-selling by the RIAA — and paved the way for these Dutch rockers in the U.S. 'Radar Love' reached No. 13 on the Billboard Single Charts and has been covered more than 500 times ever since, including by U2, R.E.M. and Def Leppard.

 

Around the time of the album release, Golden Earring toured the States with opening acts that would become huge rock bands only a few years later (Aerosmith, KISS). They also shared stages with Led Zeppelin and The Who amongst others.

 

This is a remastered & expanded 2LP edition from the first-generation master tapes of Moontan, overseen by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels. This version features 3 previously unreleased mixes and 4 bonus tracks. It is available on black vinyl and includes an 8-page booklet with an essay, memorabilia, and photos.
