Originally released in 1973, Moontan is the album that catapulted Golden Earring to international stardom, primarily on the strength of the hit single and enduring radio favorite "Radar Love." Eventually reaching No. 13 on the coveted Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., it was subsequently covered multiple hundreds of times by U2, R.E.M., Def Leppard, and many more. To this day, Moontan is Golden Earring's most successful record internationally — it's their only album to be certified gold-selling by the RIAA — and certainly paved the way for the Dutch rockers in the United States.

Now, this arguably most important record in the Dutch rock canon is available as a 45 RPM 2LP edition for the first time, entirely remastered and restored from the original analog master tapes by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels. In order to fit the album on four sides, the original LP track order was slightly changed and re-sequenced, revealing some never-before-heard oddities. All this and more is discussed at length in a 12-page booklet featuring essays, memorabilia, and photos.
