Founded in 1961 by George Kooymans and Rinus Gerritsen, Dutch rock band Golden Earring (or Golden Earring's, until 1969) started off as a beatband, experimented as a psychedelic quartet and finally became a heavy rock group. Their ninth album Moontan (1973) hit the international album charts and is the band's most successful album in the United States, being the only Golden Earring album to be certified Gold by the RIAA. The single Radar Love reached #10 on the Cash Box Top 100 and #13 in Billboard in the United States. It also hit the Top 10 in many countries - including The Netherlands (#1), Spain (#1), Germany (#5), United Kingdom (#7), Canada (#10) and Australia (#10) - and consequently became a bonafide international classic rock song. In June 2020, the original mastertapes of this classic album were unearthed for a long-awaited remastered edition - 48 years after it's original release. The second CD entitled The Moontan Sessions features nine previously unreleased mixes/different versions that give insight into the whole production process of the album. Taken from a variety of archive tapes, these include the original basic recordings of 'Radar Love', 'The Song Is Over', 'Are You Receiving Me' and 'Vanilla Queen', taped in early 1973 at Phonogram Studios in Hilversum (The Netherlands), which were overdubbed and finished at London's IBC Studios in July 1973. All tracks have been 24 bit/192 kHz remastered from the original mastertapes.
