We’re super proud to announce the remastered release of Golden Earring’s album ‘Switch’ from 1975. It’s 50 years ago since the release of the album and it will be released on 25 April 2025.
Apart from a variety of previously unreleased outtakes and rough mixes, this 50th anniversary reissue of Switch features an unreleased Golden Earring track ‘Action Alice & Bow-Tie Basil’. Recorded during the Switch sessions, this is the first time the band has approved a previously unreleased finished studio track for release.
This expanded CD edition of Switch is the sixth instalment in a special series of remastered & expanded albums by Golden Earring, overseen by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels.
It’s release Friday! The new album ‘Back Home - The Complete Leiden 1984 concert’ (2CD+DVD) is out now! Make sure to order your copy here: bit.ly/4aa9QGR
Back Home - The Complete Leiden 1984 Concert is a new live album by Golden Earring - also released simultaneously on streaming audio and hi-res audio channels - and features archival recordings of their legendary sold-out show at the Groenoordhallen in Leiden on 23 June 1984.
An abbreviated version of this show was originally released in late 1984 on the album Something Heavy Going Down, but the complete recordings were never made available in digital format. Until now!
This double cd also contains all four released versions of the Something Heavy Going Down single, taken from the original 2-track Soundpush master tapes and including three mixes by renowned Dutch DJ and remixer Ben Liebrand. These remixes appear on digital format for the first time and fill up some gaps in both Golden Earring’s as Ben Liebrand’s discography.
In addition, the DVD features the long-awaited restored version of the Live From The Twilight Zone film as shot by director Dick Maas on the same night in Leiden. Fully restored and scanned from the original 16mm negative, including remastered audio. The music videos for N.E.W.S., Something Heavy Going Down and Quiet Eyes (directed by Anton Corbijn) are added as a bonus.
All tracks have been 24 bit/96 kHz remastered from the original mastertapes.
Mark your calendars! On Record Store Day 2024 a special limited edition 2LP with outtakes, raw mixes and alternative versions of the "Cut" album will be released. Including the very first studio recordings of "Twilight Zone" and "Future", the 7-inch single edits of "Twilight Zone", "The Devil Made Me Do It", and B-sides "King Dark" and "Shadow Avenue".
Pressed on crystal clear, silver & blue marbled vinyl. You don't want to miss out on this one.
Make sure to grab your copy of "The Cut Sessions" on April 20th!

This awesome photo was used on the cover of "Instant Poetry", a 7" single released in 1974. Who still owns a copy?
