Limited edition of 4000 numbered copies on turquoise coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Five years after legendary Dutch rock band Golden Earring called it a day (after 50 years of recording and touring), their ten most loved songs and worldwide biggest hits have been brought together on one album: Essential Earring. All tracks have been exclusively remastered from the first generation original master tapes by Golden Earring band archivist and reissue producer Wouter Bessels, who also oversaw the cutting process at the Artone Studio in September 2025. This compilation is the ideal entry point for novice Golden Earring fans and also offers pop music lovers the opportunity to rediscover the best of Golden Earring from their glory years, in unparalleled better sound quality.
