Naked Truth

Description

Golden Earring has existed since 1961. Its final lineup included two founding members: George Kooymans (vocals and guitar) and Rinus Gerritsen (bass, keyboards), as well as Barry Hay (vocals, guitar, flute and saxophone), a member since 1968, and Cesar Zuiderwijk (drums), a member since 1970. They have over 40 hits and 30 albums to their name, several of which have been certified gold or platinum in the Netherlands, their home country. They are best known for their 1973 hit "Radar Love" and 1982 hit "Twilight Zone". Around 1992, acoustic sessions on MTV were very much in vogue; almost all rock groups and artists were trying them. Bassist Rinus Gerritsen then suggested recording an acoustic album. The record label was not very enthusiastic at first, so on a limited budget, the group recorded the album live in an intimate café in Amsterdam. "The Naked Truth" became Golden Earring's best-selling album. The album "The Naked Truth" is available in a limited edition of 2,000 individually numbered copies, pressed on purple vinyl. The double LP is presented in a deluxe sleeve with a linen laminate finish and includes an insert.
