EIGHT MILES HIGH

MINTY CLEAN...ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL = 1969 first pressing of a wicked-cool hard psych progressive Lp by the legendary GOLDEN EARRING.... "Golden Earring" was formed in 1961 in Hague by 13 year old George Kooymans and his 15 year old neighbour, Rinus Gerritsen. Originally called "The Tornados", the name was changed to "Golden Earring" when they discovered that "The Tornados" was already in use. By 1968, the band had already several albums and 45's and had earned their first number one hit in Holland with the pop song "Dong Dong Diki Diki Dong". This was followed by the success of their psychedelic album "Eight Miles High", which featured an eighteen-minute version of the title track, a cover of "The Byrds". This is the album where Golden Eariing entered the upcoming 70's and their prog era with a superb album. The classic quartet is now definitely leaving their psych/pop realm they had specialized in so far on into heavy psych-prog. And the artwork is setting the tone with the grab the ring front picture and especially with the excellent back cover picture featuring the band in concert in some underground club. This is really the first of string of classic albums and the tone is set by the wild title track, the cover of Byrds' best song. Tracks on the A-side: Landing is a solid hard rocker, harder than anything they had done until now, and Hay's voice and pronunciation (one of the best by non-English native speaker around the world) is simply perfect. You'd swear this is an early hard rock group somewhere between Uriah Heep, Deep Purple or Wishbone Ash. Better to come is the 6-muns Devil's Servant, where to group show they've got all the chops, including dramatics and often changing tempo. Gerritzen's throbbing bass playing is outstanding, but guitarist Kooymans gets prime exposure from this track, where singer Hay also indulge into some whirling flute playing. One Huge Road segues into the superb Everyday's Torture. Together with Servant, Torture are two typical semi-progressive tracks and quite outstanding... "Eight Miles High" is typical result of its era. Mixing the early heavy rock influences of VANILLA FUDGE and CREAM with the emerging prog styles, it brings several interesting hard-rocking Hammond-laden and fuzzy guitar-pierced sound, the best parts of which can be heard in the memorable riff opening Landing and Sabbathesque dark and menacing chords of Everydays Torture. Side One LANDING SONG OF A DEVIL'S SERVANT ONE HUGHE ROAD EVERYDAY'S TORTURE Side Two EIGHT MILES HIGH
