GOLDEN EARRING - GOLDEN EARRING (WALL OF DOLLS)
This is a very rare 1st Dutch pressing of Golden Earring’s 1970 album, simply called Golden Earring (or like some people call it “The Wall of Dolls”, referring to the background). This album also features their big hit Back Home. There are not many Golden Earring records from that period in a neat condition left on the market, so this is your chance to own a great looking (and sounding) copy of this album. The record and laminated gatefold cover are in excellent condition.
By the DUTCH (Holland) crew known as GOLDEN EARRING, here is the Original 1969 HOLLAND first pressing in laminated gatefold cover ~ has become quite the sought after collectors item, one of the very best albums by the storied Golden Earring band who started out in the early 60's and are one of the longest running bands who still perform and release albums.
WALL OF DOLLS is a fresh sound from the underground centered on striking prog & psych hardrock mixes through both sides.
The music roots of GOLDEN EARRING are basically hardrock, psychedelic, with progressive flavors using blues style in some of the compositions. Like in 'Yellow And Blue', the acoustic guitar at intro part layered by ambient fluttering flute work confirms their standing in psychedelic with bluesy style. It's a killing track and it's great being put as the album opener. As the music moves, it changes into energetic style maintaining good melody through the vocal line. The harmonies created through vocal and flute are excellent. It might reminds you to the early music of Jethro Tull, actually.
'The Loner' relies in itself with the soft guitar riffs that bring the music into medium tempo composition with good melody. You can see the bass guitar playing is quite attractive throughout the song combined with catchy guitar riffs. The guitar solo is also stunning. 'This Is The Time Of The Year' brings the music into break with vocal line performance followed later with guitar riffs that bring the music flowing in an attractive way.
The opening part of 'Big Tree Blue Sea' would definitely remind you to the kind of Focus / Jethro Tull music. This track has various complex styles as it moves from one segment to another -- a progressive rock music structure. You might really categorize this as a prog song. The guitar solo and interlude at 'The Wall Of Dolls' is really stunning, in a moody & highly infectious tune of the best kind. 'Back Home' is like a 60's The Rolling Stones tune with flutework. The other excellent track is 'As Long As The Wind Blows' with its terrific melody that latches on your mind.
