Golden Earring N.E.W.S.

Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on crystal clear 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Founded in 1961 by George Kooymans and Rinus Gerritsen, Dutch rock band Golden Earring (or Golden Earring's, until 1969) started off as a beat band, experimented as a psychedelic quartet and finally became a heavy rock group in the early 70s. Their current line-up has been constant since 1970. They have had over 40 hits and released about 30 albums, many achieving either gold or platinum status in their home country, The Netherlands. In 1984 the band released the album N.E.W.S. (North, East, West, South). It features the song 'When The Lady Smiles' which became an international hit in 1984, reaching #3 in Canada and becoming the band's fifth #1 hit in The Netherlands. Music On Vinyl celebrates the 40th anniversary of this landmark album with fully restored and remastered audio from the original master tapes.
