Product Description
CD Description
The Golden Ear-rings (name change to the singular Golden Earring in 1969) were pioneers Holland s first home-grown beat-era stars: before The Motions, before Q65, before The Outsiders. Their first single hit the charts in April 1965 and began a career which still thrives today. Before the international smash Radar Love in 1974 the band had scored an unbroken run of Dutch hit singles during the 60 s. Unlike most bands of the era, The Golden Ear-rings wrote their own material they only ever recorded a single cover version. The reissue of their first three albums - 1965 s Just Earrings, 1967 s Winter Harvest and 1968 s Miracle Mirror reveals that The Golden Ear-rings were amazingly assured, years before the international recognition. Bonus tracks from singles complete these reissues, making The Golden Ear-rings entire recorded works available for the first time They were Holland s secret but not anymore. Their music combined the toughness of The Small Faces and the minor-key brooding melodies of The Zombies. They sounded like no one else, always melodic, always focused, always immediate. 1968 s Miracle Mirror took on a psychedelic influence to create an album that stands alongside song-based classics like Odyssey And Oracle, Ogden s Nutgone Flake and The Hollies Butterfly.

Great to see these first three Golden Earrings releases on Compact disc here in the states! I had picked up on the Dutch 3 Originals a few years back and was happy with that...aside from having to again order from Europe to get some darn music I like! I got the entire ( That I know of ) Red Bullet re-releases a few years back ( 18 of them ) and was very happy with those as well....Golden Earring TO ME is the greatest Rock band ever as far as releasing a consistently like-able series of releases from when they started as a band...these guys are just amazing musicians and songwriters, players. Others will think different but I say that's cool...Been enjoying this band since I heard Eight Miles High when it came out...and they are Still out there doing great live shows as well! Rinus and Barry must be great friends after all this time! These guys back then had huge nads doing so much more original stuff than the most popular bands around them at the time....so confident!

This record is making its very first appearance in Britain, although it came out in Holland in the mid 1960's. The bonus tracks are appropriate mono singles. Nice package except for the fact that this record was originally only recorded and released in glorious MONO at the time. Every record or CD re-issue since the original vinyl has appeared in fake stereo and there is no mention of what happened or why.

the golden earrings 2nd album + singles
29 Dec 2010

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
the golden earrings 1st album "just earrings" (1965), and their 2nd "winter harvest" (1966) are fantastic! essential beat! both albums with original singer/composer Frans Krassenburg....who left shortly after winter harvest. sounds absolutely nothing like their 70's-90's albums with barry hay! anyone into 60's freakbeat, garage pop, beat, etc will dig these early '65 - '66 albums. cool band! recommended!
