Golden Earring
Golden Earring - To The Hilt (1976)
This is the most progressive cd they ever produced and should be added to the Moon. An overlooked gem. |
Re: Golden Earring
I have this, but have not heard it in a long time. I will need to give another listen.

Re: Golden Earring
It is an awesome album that, imo as well, is/was quite progressive e.g. Violins http://youtu.be/jrykN2Q6O8I
I vote Yay :-V Cheers, Art |
Re: Golden Earring
Late april I wrote this after an ( as usual) outstanding show by our Dale
"great selection , GE are well known here in Belgim since their early beginnings, they played a full-house in Antwerp a few weeks ago :-) LPs of interest for progers are imo ( before they were just a rock band): Eight miles high ( a huge Byrds' cover) Golden Earring Seven tears Together ( with the great rack Brother Wind) Moontan Switch ( the hard task to follow the himalayesque Moontan , ce soir ce soir assassination d'une rock n roll star :-)) To the hilt it was their last 'progressive record' , facing a lack of succcess they wwent back to good r'n'r also of interest : the Live : double LP of 1977 , fantastic allthrough, with Elcoo Geeling on lead guitar ( ex-Cubby and the Blizzard / dutch blues band) Barry Hay the singer recorded a fine ( but hard to find) solo Lp called only parrots, frogs and angels on POLYDOR records) in 72 imo ( feature an 8 minutes long track called Xena) just for the record GE formed in 1961 , recorded his first single in 1965 [ Please Go], |

Re: Golden Earring
Mailotron is correct, Switch is also a killer prog addition.

Re: Golden Earring
Schup must have posted this on a blue moon. Because it is rare when I actually agree with "the Tron". :winkies: But Yes! To the Hilt and Switch should be added here. Anyone have a copy to donate? And I think the song "Candy's going bad" from Moontan. Should also be included! I knew a girl named Candy. But that is another story. :dogpile: :thumbsup:

Re: Golden Earring
I would not disagree that GE should be here in a limited capacity, but I am still more interested in seeing 10cc here before GE, Just my humble opinion

Re: Golden Earring
Listened to the 1977 live album on Dale's COTM last night. I found it to be pretty good rock 'n roll. Hardly progressive, though.

I have yet to rip another live album that is more around the time of To The Hilt and Switch. I also have To The Hilt in the 'rip next' pile too. All coming to a prog library near you (when you turn on Aural Moon that is.) :yougo |
