HOLLAND - IMPORT, DIGIPACK PACKAGING, EXPANDED VERSION, REMASTERED, BONUS TRACKS

New expanded edition of the band's very first double album, released in 1969, including the Golden Earring classic Just A Little Bit Of Peace In My Heart. Remastered for the first time from the original first-generation Phonogram Studio and Sterling Sound master tapes. Including four bonus tracks, including previously unreleased stereo mixes of Dong-Dong-Di-Ki-Di-Gi Dong and Wake Up-Breakfast! Also includes a 20-page booklet with liner notes, memorabilia, and photos. 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) 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. On The Double, Golden Earring(s)' very first double album, was released in April 1969, after the band had been working on it for about a year. The two records contain nineteen songs, each with it's own style. From acoustic tracks like Angelina, Judy, and Murdock 9-6182 and the robust psychedelia of Backbiting Baby and Song of a Devil's Servant to the heavily orchestrated Just a Little Bit of Peace in My Heart, which was already released as a single in November 1968, reaching #2 in the Dutch Top 40. This song is now considered a true Earring classic. This expanded edition includes four bonus tracks: the single Dong-Dong-Di-Ki Di-Gi Dong, with it's B-side Wake Up-Breakfast, which gave the group it's very first number one hit in July 1968. For the first time, the original stereo mixes of both tracks have been released. The single Where Will I Be, with the B-side It's Alright, But I Admit It Could Be Better, was recorded by the group in New York City in May 1969 and marked the very last recording the band made with drummer Jaap Eggermont. All tracks have been 24 bit/192 kHz remastered from the original master tapes. This expanded CD edition is the sixth instalment in a special series of remastered & expanded albums by Golden Earring, overseen by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels.
