RELEASE DATE: 6/26/2026
First release in the Artone Signature series. It will be available as a 45RPM 2LP edition for the first time -- entirely remastered and restored from the original analogue master tapes by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels. In order to fit the album on four sides, the original LP track order was slightly changed and re-sequenced, revealing some never-before-heard oddities. All this and more is discussed at length in a 12-page booklet featuring essays, memorabilia and photos. Plated and pressed Record Industry, 180g virgin vinyl. Deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket from Stoughton. "Originally released in 1973, Moontan is the album that catapulted Golden Earring to international stardom, primarily on the strength of the hit single and enduring radio favorite 'Radar Love.' Eventually reaching #13 on the coveted Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., it was subsequently covered multiple hundreds of times by U2, R.E.M., Def Leppard, and many more. To this day, Moontan is Golden Earring's most successful record internationally -- it's their only album to be certified Gold by the RIAA -- and certainly paved the way for the Dutch rockers in the United States. Now, this arguably most important record in the Dutch rock canon is available as a 45RPM 2LP edition for the first time, entirely remastered and restored from the original analogue master tapes by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels. In order to fit the album on four sides, the original LP track order was slightly changed and re-sequenced, revealing some never-before-heard oddities.

"Music On Vinyl's well-received series of Golden Earring remastered and expanded editions continue with On The Double. The Red Bullet archive was turned inside out again by Wouter Bessels and he found the original first-generation quarter inch master tapes of this classic 1969 album. These particular tapes have never been used for any release before, as in the analogue days of mixing and mastering it was customary to run off a set of equalized tape copies -- with compression and sometimes reverb added -- for release on vinyl and cassette. The first-generation tapes sound dynamic and have a wonderful late ;60s brilliance. You'll probably have never heard the lush orchestral arrangement of 'Just A Little Bit Of Peace In My Heart' so dynamic and fresh before. These tapes were hi-res digitally transferred and carefully remastered by Wouter Bessels. Also, genuine stereo mixes of both 'Dong-Dong-Di-Ki-Di-Gi-Dong' and its B-side 'Wake Up-Breakfast!' were found. As the On The Double album was mixed in glorious stereo, MOV has included these never-before released stereo mixes (instead of the original 1968 mono mixes), alongside the original stereo mixes of 'Where Would I Be'/'It's Alright, But I Admit It Could Be Better', the single that came out after On The Double. All in all, this expanded release of On The Double contains everything released by Golden Earrings between the albums Miracle Mirror and Eight Miles High and, as it features all original stereo mixes, fills another important hole in the reissue program of the band. On The Double (remastered and expanded) is now available as an individually numbered edition of 1000 copies on crystal clear vinyl. It contains an insert, printed inner sleeves with liner notes by acclaimed Golden Earring biographer and archivist Jeroen Ras and additional remastering notes and comes in a gatefold sleeve."
