Lead single “Clear Night Moonlight” and “When the Lady Smiles” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Since completing 1984’s ‘Clear Night Moonlight’, Golden Earring fulfilled their contract with EMI Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Golden Earring. Check it every song is worth the money for the N.E.W.S. CD!
Music of When the Lady Smiles is gentle, never overbearing. Enough Is Enough - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Fist in Glove is the most memorable and astounding. N.E.W.S. which is my favorite is a truly Golden Earring sounding song. Mission Impossible gives taste of what makes Golden Earring special as a musician. Golden Earring offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. No Golden Earring song has come close to capturing my attention as It’s Over Now did.
