Dutch band founded 1961 as "The Tornados", but as there already was a British band with that name it was changed to "The Golden Earrings", which they picked from a song by UK instrumental band "The Hunters" (btw same band as mentioned in the previous "Unit 4+2" post). From 1965 and on gathering a public on home turf and getting a number of top five's on the Dutch list. Though with some following in other countries through the late sixties it was first with this their ninth album and the "Radar Love" 45 they reached international success. It's one of those bands I knew was good, but for some reason never listened in to and it was first late in life they got to me with this LP. But better late than never, cause this is a very enjoyable album. Somewhere between psych blues and hard rock, garnished with excellent guitars, rhythmic gaming and flute. Good listening all the way, but if to pick three favorites - the pumping dark "Radar Love", the psych/prog "Are You Recieving Me?" and the raw rocker "Candy's Gone Bad". Should do it for any fan of seventies rock and then some. Issued and reissued on vinyl, 8-track, cassette and CD all over the world through the years. Premiere Dutch as a six-track, including "Suzy Lunacy" and "Just Like Vince Taylor", but omitting "Big Tree, Blue Sea" - a track list used in most countries while the US and Canadian originals came the same as UK. Japan CD on Polydor (POCM 2485136) came with all seven involved tracks. First UK had label as shown here in a glossy fold/out cover with pic/lyric/credit inner. (TRÄC*)
