💿 DESCRIPTION

Moontan is the landmark ninth studio album by Dutch rock band Golden Earring, released internationally in 1974 through MCA Records. The album launched the band into global stardom, anchored by the iconic mega-hit single "Radar Love," which became one of the definitive driving anthems in rock history. Featuring extended compositions like "Vanilla Queen" and "Are You Receiving Me," Moontan represents the band at their artistic and commercial peak, blending hard rock dynamics with progressive sensibilities. The album's provocative artwork featuring dancer Eva Pfeiffer sparked controversy upon its release, making original pressings highly memorable.

💎 CONDITION vinyl: Presumed MINT (unplayed) cover: Factory-sealed, never opened
(one corner has crease, see pics) 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS
  • This item is an exceptionally rare original 1974 US pressing featuring the controversial, uncensored cover artwork. Shortly after release, MCA Records withdrew this sleeve design in North America due to retail censorship and replaced it with an alternate, toned-down cover. Finding an original US MCA-396 uncensored pressing still factory-sealed in intact shrink wrap is a major collector's prize.
