Description
Founded in 1961 by George Kooymans and Rinus Gerritsen, Dutch rock band Golden Earring (or Golden Earrings, until 1969) started off as a beat band, experimented as a psychedelic quartet and finally became a heavy rock group. Their ninth album Moontan (1973) - including their classic track Radar Love - 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.
Golden Earring is the sixth, self-titled album that is also known as 'Wall Of Dolls' because of the cover photo. The record, released in September 1970, marks the debut of drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk with Golden Earring and is the first in a series of progressively oriented records that the group released in the 1970s.
The single Back Home from this album - written by George Kooymans during the American tour in 1969 - reached the top position of the Dutch Top 40 in the summer of 1970, while the single also reached the charts in Germany and France.
This expanded edition contains three bonus tracks: the single Holy Holy Life (#5 in the Dutch Top 40 in February 1971) with B-side Jessica, as well as the single version of Back Home as released in the United States on Dwarf Records in October 1970.
All tracks have been remastered in 24 bit/192 kHz from the original master tapes. The 16-page booklet contains a story about the creation of the album, written by Golden Earring biographer and archivist Jeroen Ras.
This expanded CD edition of Golden Earring ('Wall Of Dolls') is the eighth in the series of remastered & expanded albums by Golden Earring, supervised by Red Bullet catalog and band archivist Wouter Bessels.
