Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

clean 1973 BRITISH first pressing in grainy gatefold cover - a cover design that was banned in the USA featuring the scantily clad girl and nude backside photo of Golden Earring singer Barry Hay on inside cover...

This is the superior, rare, British large fold out gatefold cover containing different tracking order from the US press and an extra track ("Just like Vince Taylor) not on US pressing --
- completely blows away even the withdrawn US copy....

- This 1973 outing is the album that raised Golden Earring to an international level of popularity, primarily on the strength of the smash hit single and timeless groove "Radar Love" (here in un-edited long version) -- However, there is much more to this album than just that hit. In many ways, "Moontan" is like a summation of everything the group had delivered on their earlier 60's albums. It presents a similar combination of prog epics, heavy rockers, and songs that combine both elements, but everything is raised to a new level of inspiration and polish. It starts with a bang thanks to "Candy's Going Bad," a piece that starts off as a thunderous, pounding rocker but transforms midway into a bluesy instrumental mood piece. Other highlights include the unedited long version of "Radar Love," a relentless rock tune with a left-field instrumental break in which tribal drums duel with a big band-style back-up section, and "Just Like Vince Taylor," a guitar-slinging slice of boogie rock that pays tribute to the fallen rock idol of the title. The album also includes what may be the group's finest prog effort in "Vanilla Queen": this classic builds from pulsating, ominous verses dominated by synthesizer into a hard-rocking chorus and also throws in a stark guitar midsection before climaxing in a frantic band jam augmented by blaring leads and an ever-spiraling arrangement section. Little known fact is the inclusion of the great Eelco Gelling, guitarist from the legendary Cuby & the Blizzards...As well, the ever catchy "Are You Receiving Me?" contains some hooks from the group's past classic "She Flies on Strange Wings," and only the twangy rural edged-poprock of "Suzy Lunacy (Mental Rock)" is a little too poppy to gel with the rest of the album. However, even these tunes benefit from tight arrangements and a spirited, totally committed performance from the group. The result is an album that retains its power today. In the end, Moontan is a necessity for Golden Earring fans, and a worthwhile listen for anyone interested in 1960's and early 1970s rock at its most adventurous...
